Preston boss makes 'no one' West Brom claim as Albion head to Deepdale in desperate need of a win

West Brom travel to Preston this weekend knowing they need to turn draws into wins if they are to survive in the Championship.

James Morrison has put together a commendable seven match unbeaten run, consisting of two wins and five draws.

Albion have had clean sheets in four of their last five games and are a changed side - but they still only remain just above the bottom three.

This weekend they face a Preston side who have slid out of play-off contention and now sit in mid table.

Their boss Paul Heckingbottom has insisted that no one across the Championship thought Albion would be in the position they currently find themselves in.

The former Sheffield United manager has seen his side win two of their last four games - as they look to end the campaign on a high.

He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "We've got to enjoy the challenge of the games. We're playing against a team in West Brom, who no-one would have picked to be down there.

"They've got a squad full of talent and they're going to be hungry, they'll be fighting.

"There's going to be an edge to it. Good, that's what we want because we want to have that edge of fighting at the top end of the league, so it's good practice.

"So let's embrace that one, just like we did last week when we were playing Leicester.

"They are going to be giving everything, putting bodies on the line and giving absolutely everything for their survival. So it's going to be a huge test."
