Preston North End vs West Bromwich Albion: How to watch on TV, live stream, kick-off time & team news

West Bromwich Albion are back in Sky Bet Championship action midweek as they take on Preston North End at Deepdale on Wednesday night.

Having won just one of their 11 opening league games, West Brom have had a very disappointing start to the campaign.

The Baggies’ most recent outing ended in a 3-2 defeat to Swansea City at the Hawthorns - further mounting pressure on Steve Bruce and his players.

Sitting above the relegation zone on goal difference alone, Bruce’s side will need to turn things around quickly if they want any real chance of a playoff push.

Preston have only lost two games his season, but astonishingly six of their 11 matches have ended with a 0-0 scoreline.

The North End have the best defensive record in the division with four conceded, but also the worst goalscoring form with just three scored.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Preston vs West Brom, including how to watch the game on TV, the kick-off time and the latest team news.

What is the team news ahead of Preston vs West Brom?

West Brom have a few injury concerns to contend with ahead of their clash with Preston.

Semi Ajayi (ankle) and Daryl Dike (thigh) are fighting to get back to action but the duo are unlikely to feature this time out.

Meanwhile, Kean Bryan, who has been out with an ACL problem for an extended period, is back in training but still a little way off being available.

Tom Rogic will be competing with the likes of Jayson Molumby and Okay Yokuslu to retain his place after playing 57 minutes on his debut against Swansea.

Defender Andrew Hughes could return for Preston after missing the North End’s meeting with Sunderland through illness.

Head coach Ryan Lowe may opt to replace Ched Evans up top with Troy Parrott - who is on loan from Tottenham - in an attempt to solve their goalscoring woes.
