West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City Match Analysis & Prediction
29/04/2023 7:30 pm
West Bromwich Albion will be looking to keep their promotion dreams alive on Saturday when the host out-of-form Norwich City at The Hawthorns in the Championship.
The Baggies failed to earn any points in the last two matches meaning their top-six destiny is out of their hands, while Norwich are preparing for another season in the Championship.
West Brom recorded back-to-back defeats in the Championship for the first time under Carlos Corberan after losing their crucial game in hand to Premier League-bound Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Corberan’s side are sitting in ninth place in the Championship standings, two points behind sixth-placed Sunderland with just two matches remaining.
With a murky ownership situation and protests looming over the West Midlands outfit, West Brom supporter probably realise an unlikely ptomotion to the Premier League this season is the only short-term fix to a problem which could keep the club in the Championship for a sustained period of time.
Norwich are used to being elite operators in the Championship, but this season are facing the reality of remaining in this division for more than one season.
The Canaries are now winless in four matches after suffering a 3-0 defeat against in-form Swansea City, with goals from Joel Latibeaudiere, Josh Cullen and Joel Piroe securing victory for the visitors at Carrow Road.
With just three points separating David Wagner’s side and sixth-placed Sunderland, there is still slight hope that Norwich could earn a top-six finish this season, although they will need to be faultless in their final two games and hope other results go their way.

West Bromwich Albion Team News
All of West Brom’s Adam Reach (muscle), Dara O’Shea (knee), Daryl Dike (Achilles), Grady Diangana (foot), Matt Phillips(muscle) and Nathaniel Chalobah (ankle) are sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Corberan’s switch to a midfield three of Okay Yokuslu, Jayson Molumby and Taylor Gardner-Hickman worked well in the first half against Sheffield United, but the latter may be dropped to the bench.
