What channel is West Brom vs Huddersfield Town on? Kick-off time, TV & stream details, latest team news

West Brom are back in Championship action on Friday evening and are tasked with making it successive wins for the first time in 2022.

The 2-0 victory over Hull City last time out marked just the second time the Albion have picked up three points since the turn of the year and yet despite that, they still have a realistic chance of reaching the play-offs.

That chance however could be shattered with anything other than a win over Huddersfield Town on Friday evening. The Terriers haven’t lost in the league since the end of November though were beaten for the first time since that date when Nottingham Forest knocked them out of the FA Cup last Monday.

Now they’ve once again had to endure that feeling of defeat, it could prove the perfect time for Steve Bruce to put his men up against the team currently sat in third place.

When and where is the match?

The game takes place at West Brom’s home of the Hawthorns on Friday March 11th. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 (GMT).

Is West Brom vs Huddersfield Town on TV?

In the most unsurprising answer of the season - yes, West Brom are on TV again. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Football with coverage beginning at 19:30.

Sky Sports customers will be able to stream the game via the Sky Go app on all good smart devices whilst Albion fans will also be able to purchase live commentary of the game via WBATV for a one off fee of £2.50.

Who is the match referee?

Matthew Donohue will take charge of the match between the Baggies and the Terriers with Philip Dermott and Paul Hodskinson his assistants. Benjamin Speedie will be on fourth official duties.

Donohue has reffed 24 Championship games so far this campaign and handed out 102 yellow cards, four red cards and awarded two penalties.

He last officiated Albion in the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough back in November, dishing out seven yellow cards on that day.

Team news

West Brom will have to give Alex Mowatt a late fitness test ahead of the game after it was revealed the midfielder has been struggling with a bit of a muscle injury this week.

If Mowatt is unable to make it, Jayson Molumby is expected to be given the nod.

Daryl Dike is back in full training which is a huge result for Albion but the Huddersfield game will come far too soon for his comeback appearance.

The Terriers have no fresh injury concerns following their exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Nottingham Forest though Carlos Corberan is expected to shake the starting eleven up for this one.
