Championship team of the week dominated by West Brom and Blackburn Rovers - as one player scores perfect 10/10
West Bromwich Albion have more players in the new team of the week than any other Championship side following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 victory at Portsmouth, a result that soared Carlos Corberan’s side up to the summit of the league standings.
Blackburn Rovers aren’t too far behind the Baggies, with one fewer member of their squad in the XI named by WhoScored. John Eustace’s side also managed a 3-0 win at the weekend, over Bristol City on home soil. Rovers are now up to 3rd in the Championship, two points off West Brom in top spot.
