West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan intends to make his side's game in hand count tonight when he leads the Baggies to Bramall Lane hoping to spoil Sheffield United's promotion party. An away win would move Albion ahead of Sunderland in sixth place ahead of the final two games of the Championship season.
Tony Mowbray's side defeated West Brom 2-1 at the weekend to leapfrog the Midlands outfit but, with a game in hand, West Brom know a midweek win could swing the advantage back in their favour. Both clubs watched on as rivals Blackburn missed the chance to take three points from their extra match, losing 1-0 to Burnley on Tuesday night.
Sunderland host Watford on Saturday before going to Preston on the final day, while West Brom have the slightly trickier task of second-placed Sheffield United tonight, followed by play-off rivals Norwich and Swansea City. Corberan saw his proud home record - a run of six months without defeat at The Hawthorns - ended by Sunderland, who inflicted the first loss on the Baggies on home soil since, ironically, Sheffield United in October, but Albion have returned to winning ways on the road since and a third straight away victory would be most welcome.
