West Brom are yet to win in 2026, picking up only three points from six games
Coventry beat title rivals Middlesbrough 3-1 last time out
Recommended bet: Coventry win and over 2.5 goals
West Brom are yet to taste victory this calendar year and are without a win in eight Championship matches as they come up against Championship leaders Coventry at lunchtime on Saturday.
The Baggies will be hoping to spring a surprise in the West Midlands match-up, but face a Sky Blues side who will be full of confidence after returning to the summit with a 3-1 home win over Middlesbrough on Monday.

Team news
West Brom centre-back Chris Mepham remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while George Campbell is also ruled out with a similar issue.
Tammer Bany is unavailable because of a thigh injury and striker Karlan Grant has been ruled out for most of the rest of the season.
City boss Frank Lampard has close to a fully-fit squad to choose from and will have been pleased to see Ephron Mason-Clark play for more than an hour against Boro after not featuring against Oxford United due to a foot injury.
The stats
West Brom have failed to find the net in four of their last five Championship matches.
Coventry have lost four of their last five league trips to The Hawthorns (drawing once), dating back to March 2010.
West Brom can secure three straight Championship clean sheets for the first time since October, having recorded shutouts in goalless draws with both Birmingham and Stoke earlier this month.
Coventry remain the division's top scorers, netting at a rate of more than two goals per game with 66 netted in 32 matches.

Prediction
Albion boss Eric Ramsay is still awaiting his first win and will be eager to put three points on the board after earning draws in the last two league games.
However, Coventry are determined to earn automatic promotion and will see the trip to The Hawthorns as an opportunity to stay in top spot ahead of Middlesbrough.
The quality the Sky Blues possess, particularly in attacking areas, should be enough to get the win against a Baggies side who are struggling for goals, let alone victories.
While West Brom have failed to find the net in four of the last five Championship games, they have improved at the back and are yet to concede in February, keeping two clean sheets.
However, Ramsay's men did let in three at Norwich in the FA Cup and Coventry can take advantage of any defensive deficiencies that linger with the hosts.
The Sky Blues have not won away at West Brom since December 2007, but are favourites for victory on Saturday and backing a Coventry triumph and over 2.5 goals could prove a smart choice.
