West Brom take on Stoke City this evening in the Sky Bet Championship as they look for an all-important three points at the top of the second tier table.
It’s looking set to be another frantic fight for promotion this season with well over half of the division seeming capable of getting themselves into the Premier League come the end of the year.
Certainly, West Brom look like one of those sides under Slaven Bilic and they’ve moved to strengthen their side further today, with the signing of Gareth Barry:

Let’s look at how Baggies fans have reacted to the news…
