West Brom host a winless Watford in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, looking to continue their unbeaten run towards the end of the campaign. The Baggies come into the fixture on the back of a 2-0 win over Preston North End last weekend, with Josh Maja and Daryl Dike netting apiece in either half.
It ended a run of three consecutive draws in the league and secured the side only their 13th victory in the Championship season while remaining unbeaten in eight.
Thanks for the submission!
James Morrison’s side are in 20th position in the Championship table with 49 points from 43 games, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Another victory on Tuesday would all but confirm their survival in the second tier of English football, but it’s been a dreadful season for West Brom, who came ninth last year.
As for Watford, the Hornets are up in 13th place but have been going through a rough patch lately. They have lost their last two Championship games and three of their last four.
The London side have not won a Championship game in five matches, but either way, Watford are well off the promotion spots and are set for a fifth consecutive year in the second division.
