West Bromwich Albion’s quest for a playoff spot goes down to the wire as they visit the Swansea.com Stadium to face Swansea City in their season finale on Monday.
West Brom are currently eighth in the table, but could potentially move into the top six with a win and favourable result when sixth-placed Millwall take on Blackburn Rovers at the Den.
Swansea City maintained their impressive late-season form as they came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Hull City last Saturday.
While the result saw their four-match winning run come to an end, Russell Martin’s side have now gone eight straight outings undefeated, claiming six wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss against Millwall on March 14.
This fine run of form has seen Swansea rise into the top half of the EFL Championship table as they currently occupy 10th place, level on 63 points with 11th-placed Preston North End.
Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion kept their playoff dreams alive last weekend when they picked up a 2-1 comeback victory over Norwich City.
Carlos Corberan’s side were previously on a run of two back-to-back defeats, losing against Sunderland and Sheffield United respectively.
With 66 points from 45 matches, West Brom are currently eighth in the league table, level on points with seventh-placed Sunderland and two points off sixth-placed Millwall in the final playoff spot.
