West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday - Match preview

As much as Albion upset the form book at Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday will aim to do exactly the same at The Hawthorns tonight.

Carlos Corberan’s side made a mockery of respective home and away records at Deepdale on Saturday.

Now the Baggies, exceptional at home for the most part of Corberan’s one-year tenure, will have to guard against the rock-bottom Owls gunning for a first Championship victory anywhere this season.

Wednesday have mustered just two points from nine games under boss Xisco Munoz, who controversially replaced Darren Moore after the former Albion defender and boss led the Hillsborough side to League One play-off success last term.

Spaniard Munoz is under heavy fire after a hapless start to the campaign with a majority of the Owls fanbase calling for change. The head coach admitted after Friday night’s defeat to Sunderland that he was unclear on his own future. There is, of course, uproar further upstairs at Hillsborough, with controversial Thai owner Dejphon Chansiri not endearing himself with wild and unwise statements.
