    The Baggies suffered more late heartbreak on Tuesday night at fellow top-six chasing Bristol City, whilst the Hornets secured a much-needed maximum over Hull City at Vicarage Road.
    Just when they needed to show a little bit of positive consistency in the top-six race, West Bromwich Albion have now lost three straight Championship matches for the first time since April 2024 following a sobering game in the West Country.
    Currently in the midst of a five-game winless streak as the second-tier campaign reaches its dramatic conclusion, Tony Mowbray's boys have slipped down from a comfortable fifth to eighth spot in the Championship table, five points behind Coventry City in sixth with five games remaining.

    For a third game in the last five matches, the Hornets managed to keep their Championship opponents at bay, allowing them to win the contest by netting a single goal past Tigers shot-stopper Ivor Pandur, with former Tottenham Hotspur enforcer Moussa Sissoko stepping up to the attacking plate.

    Team News

    Both Kwadwo Baah and Giorgi Chakvetadze have already succumbed to injury, and now Yasser Larouci seems unlikely to feature in the final five games.

    The Baggies are set to be without the services of Jayson Molumby, with the ill-disciplined midfielder seeing red for lashing out late on at Ashton Gate on Tuesday.

    Tom has said we need experience tomorrow so not expecting much experimentation.

    I suppose Akomeah could be classified as experimentation.
