West Brom travel to St Andrew’s to face Midlands rivals Birmingham City tomorrow night, as the Baggies look to extend their current five-match unbeaten run in the league.
The Baggies beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 in midweek after winning 3-0 at Preston North End last weekend, as Carlos Corberan’s side now sit fifth in the table.
Birmingham City sit 12th after a 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town in midweek, ending a five-match winless streak.

According to Birmingham Live, Corberan confirmed ahead of tomorrow’s match that there are no fresh injury concerns in the squad and that Grady Diangana and Semi Ajayi could be involved from the start.
Jeremy Sarmiento is the latest name to join the injury list, joining Adam Reach, Daryl Dike, Josh Maja and Martin Kelly.
With Ajayi possibly returning to the XI, expect him to replace Kyle Bartley, with Ajayi a key player in the Baggies’ backline.
Elsewhere, Alex Mowatt is expected to retain his place in the XI after some impressive recent form, with the attack likely to remain intact despite just one win against a poor side beat Sheffield Wednesday this week.
Birmingham City have not been in good form recently, but they have had a good win this week and they will be ready for the challenge against an in-form West Brom side tomorrow.
The match will start at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
