On April 21, 2025, West Bromwich Albion will host Derby County at the Hawthorns in a crucial EFL Championship clash. Currently situated in 8th place with 60 points from 43 matches, West Brom is vying for a playoff position. In contrast, Derby County finds itself in a precarious situation as they sit in 21st place with only 43 points and are embroiled in a relegation battle . The stakes are high as both teams aim to secure vital points to achieve their respective goals.
West Bromwich Albion come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena the other day due to early goals in each half from Jack Rudoni and Matt Grimes, whilst Hungary international Callum Styles was also sent off. They have now endured four defeats in their last five matches in the Championship.
The appointment of Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace sparked an almost immediate major improvement in Derby County’s form and they do remain outside of the bottom three and the relegation places ahead of this match day. However, their crucial 1-0 loss at home to fellow strugglers Luton Town on Friday means they are now winless in their last four matches.
West Bromwich Albion possible starting lineup: Griffiths; Furlong, Bartley, Holgate, Heggem; Mowatt, Diakite; Fellows, Grant, Johnston; Armstrong
Derby County possible starting lineup: Vickers; Langas, Phillips, Clarke; Wilson, Armstrong, Adams, Forsyth; Jackson, Harness, Yates
West Brom's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two wins and three losses in their last five matches . This inconsistency contrasts sharply with Derby's dire situation; having lost their last four games after a brief winning streak, they are desperate for points to avoid relegation. Historical context adds intrigue to this matchup, as Derby previously triumphed over West Brom with a score of 2-1 .
For fans unable to attend the match due to sold-out tickets, live audio commentary will be accessible on RamsTV. Furthermore, video streaming options will be available through designated links post-match on dcfc.co.uk and the Derby County App . This availability ensures that supporters remain engaged despite physical attendance limitations.
