West Brom have lost three in four games and have dropped to eleventh
Sheffield Wednesday have managed just one win during horror campaign
Recommended bet: West Brom win and both teams to score
West Brom have won just two games in the last eight but are heavy favourites to beat crisis club Sheffield Wednesday at home on Saturday lunchtime.
The Owls were deducted 12 points after entering administration last week and it seems that, while there is light at the end of the tunnel now Dejphon Chansiri’s stewardship has come to an end, results will still suffer for the foreseeable future as there is no quick fix to the mess that has enveloped the campaign.

Team news
West Brom look set to be without Jayson Molumby who aggravated an injury picked up on Ireland duty in the win over Preston and has missed the two games since. Toby Collyer, on loan from Manchester United, is also absent with a hamstring issue.
Sheffield Wednesday have been without a number of players due to injury and suffered another blow when young striker George Brown was ruled out for six to eight weeks after hurting his foot.
Goalkeeper Joe Lumley has returned to Bristol City after his emergency seven-day loan and so Ethan Horvath is set to return between the sticks having served his ban for a red card at Charlton.
The stats
West Brom are unbeaten against Sheffield Wednesday in the last six games at The Hawthorns, a run dating back to April 2007.
The Owls have lost four straight games and will hope to arrest the slide sooner rather than later; the club’s worst run of defeats was eight games back in 2000.
West Brom have lost just once at home this season when they were defeated 1-0 by Derby County in September.
Sheffield Wednesday have found the net in all six of their matches away from home this season, netting 11 goals on the road.

Prediction
West Brom may be struggling in mid-table but they have picked up eight points from 15 at the Hawthorns this season and so the Baggies are heavy favourites to take three points against Sheffield Wednesday.
Ryan Mason’s Baggies side have claimed just two league victories since the end of August and so facing the bottom club struggling against a backdrop of administration presents a real opportunity to get back to winning ways after successive losses at Watford and Ipswich.
The Owls may be the underdogs but backing Henrik Pedersen’s team to get on the scoresheet could be a wise move as Wednesday have netted in all of their games on the road this season.
Getting goals at a rate of nearly two a game on the road, it could be that the team are able to play with more freedom and clarity away from the noise back in Sheffield.
West Brom should win this one in relative comfort but both teams can find the net.
