West Bromwich Albion and Preston North End United face off in round 25 of the EFL Championship on Thursday
West Bromwich Albion and Preston North End get the ball rolling in the new year when they square off at the Hawthorns on New Year's Day. Having failed to win the last four meetings between the two teams, Paul Heckingbottom’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the Baggies and secure a dream start to 2025.
West Bromwich Albion fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Bristol City in their final outing of 2024 at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Sunday. While the Baggies have failed to win their last five games on the road, they return home, where they are on a seven-game unbeaten run since a 1-0 loss against Middlesbrough in October.
West Bromwich Albion have picked up 37 points from their 24 Championship games to sit eighth in the table but could move into fifth place with a win on Thursday.
