Carlos Corberan and his side will target a useful points return from the 15 available to take into the break in the middle of next month – which is the final pause in league action until well into the new year.

Albion have three home fixtures at The Hawthorns to sink their teeth into, including a Saturday-Tuesday double-header over the next week.

Here are the Baggies’ opposition over the next month and what kind of points return they might realistically expect.

Plymouth Argyle (h) – Saturday, October 21

Albion saw off one of last season’s League One promotion winners Sheffield Wednesday in their last home game, albeit it wasn’t totally smooth-sailing.

Plymouth will be no pushover.

The Pilgrims are 18th and have faltered after a decent start back in the second tier, for the first time since 2009/10.

All three of Argyle’s league wins under Steven Schumacher have come at home, where Plymouth are strong. They have mustered just two points on the road.

Prediction: Albion win
