West Bromwich Albion will host Queens Park Rangers at the Hawthorns on Monday in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late, consequently falling behind in their pursuit of playoff football. They were beaten 3-1 by Rotherham United in their last game, taking the lead via a John Smith penalty kick in the first half before their opponents turned the game on its head.
West Brom sit 10th in the Championship standings, with 56 points from 39 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally come Monday.
QPR have endured an even worse campaign than their opponents and are now fighting for survival. They were beaten 2-0 by Preston North End last time out and could have no complaints after managing just one shot on target throughout the game.
The visitors sit 21st in the league table with just 42 points from 40 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track next week.
