PREVIEW | West Bromwich vs Luton Town - team news, lineups, predictions

West Bromwich and Luton Town face off this Saturday at The Hawthorns in the EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 12:30 on Sky Sports Football.

The Baggies have 61 points to their name this season and sit 10th in the table, safe but with their hopes of making the play-offs in tatters. After showing Tony Mowbray the door, James Morrison took charge of the Baggies as they drew 0-0 with Cardiff City last time out.

Luton, meanwhile, lie in 21st position and hugely boosted their survival hopes with a 1-0 win against Coventry in their last game.

The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.

Prediction: 0-0

Simon Holden : So. Here we go. A 46th and final Championship game with everything on the line. Win and we stay up. Hull lose and we stay up. Draw and we might stay up. Lose and we might stay up. Fail to turn up and we might go down. Again. Madness. But we’ll snap your hand off for the chance. Not that many weeks ago we were cut adrift. No form, no fight, no hope. That’s changed in recent weeks and thank Ricky Hill it has. We’re a different side now. Last Saturday’s heart-busting last gasp win against Coventry was typical Luton. Unforgettable. Comical. Magical. Staggering. The euphoria from that moment, together with the renewed confidence, spirit, determination, resilience, and quality should assist us in getting the job done at The Hawthorns this Saturday lunchtime. It won’t be enjoyable. Eyes will be elsewhere at times. There’ll be a lot of sweat, stress, and squirming. Will there be tears? I don’t think so. The momentum is with Luton and the belief is well and truly back. And West Brom might already be on the beach. Critically, an in-form Liam Walsh is now available and he can be the difference by orchestrating the side to a final crucial victory. I think Luton will win the game by two clear goals. If that happens, expect an 80-year-old gentleman in beige suit and matching slip-on shoes to run and skip into the fray at the final whistle. The Great Luton Town Escape has happened before and I can see history repeating itself. Up the Hatters.
