• Fixture: West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday

• Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025

• Kick-off: 12:30 GMT

• Venue: The Hawthorns

West Brom might fancy their chances at home, especially after nicking a win against Norwich away. They've had a bit of a rough patch, losing three out of their last five, but they've shown they can grind out results when it counts. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, are struggling, with four losses in their last five games. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to avoid another defeat.

Sheffield Wednesday's attack could pose a threat, but their recent form suggests they might struggle to convert chances. West Brom's midfield has been solid, and if they can control the game, they should have enough to edge it. It won't be a walk in the park, but West Brom's home advantage could be the difference.

West Brom's recent form has been a bit up and down, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. They've shown they can compete with the big boys, beating Preston at home and Norwich away. However, those losses to Ipswich, Watford, and Millwall highlight areas they need to improve, especially defensively. If they can shore up the backline, they'll be in a good position to take all three points against Sheffield Wednesday.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Ipswich (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Watford (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Preston (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Millwall (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Norwich (A)

Sheffield Wednesday are in a bit of a rut, with four losses and one draw in their last five games. They've been leaking goals, conceding 12 in those five matches, which is a real concern. Their attack has been hit and miss, with only four goals scored in that period. They'll need to find some form quickly if they want to avoid another defeat against West Brom.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Oxford United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Middlesbrough (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Charlton (A)
• Loss: 0-5 vs Coventry (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Birmingham (A)

The head-to-head record between these two sides has been closely contested recently. West Brom have won three of the last five meetings, including a 2-1 victory in their most recent encounter. However, Sheffield Wednesday have also had their moments, with a 3-2 win and a 3-0 thrashing of West Brom in 2024. It's generally a tight affair when these two meet.

• Predicted lineup: Griffiths (GK), Campbell (DF), Mepham (DF), Phillips (DF), Taylor (DF), Mowatt (MF), Diakité (MF), Iling-Junior (MF), Price (MF), Johnston (MF), Heggebø (AT)

West Brom's predicted lineup suggests a focus on midfield control with Diakité and Mowatt anchoring the middle. The inclusion of Heggebø up top indicates they'll look to exploit any defensive weaknesses in Sheffield Wednesday's backline.

• Predicted lineup: Lumley (GK), Palmer (DF), Iorfa (DF), M Lowe (DF), Fusire (MF), Bannan (MF), Valery (MF), Amass (MF), Ingelsson (AT), Cadamarteri (AT), J Lowe (AT)

Sheffield Wednesday's predicted lineup shows a reliance on their attacking duo of Cadamarteri and Lowe to provide the goals. With Bannan in midfield, they'll hope to create enough chances to turn their fortunes around.

• Samuel Iling-Junior vs Max Lowe: This will be a crucial battle between West Brom's attacker and Sheffield Wednesday's defender, with Iling-Junior looking to exploit any gaps in the defence.

• Isaac Price vs Yan Valery: The midfield duel between West Brom's Price and Sheffield Wednesday's Valery could be key to controlling the tempo of the game.

• Aune Heggebø (West Brom): His directness and goal threat could be vital for West Brom's chances of winning.

• Jamal Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday): Lowe's ability to score goals will be crucial for Sheffield Wednesday if they are to get anything from this game.
