Evening/morning all.
Am posting this early, as I head off to Glasgow at 5am in the morning & can't rely on the Virgin Trains wifi.
Cracking game tonight as we feature the televised West Midlands derby between WBA & Birmingham City, which should be a corker after all those dull Internationals.

OPTA Facts
West Brom are unbeaten in their last four league games against Birmingham (W2 D2), their longest such run against them since November 1997 (five games).
Birmingham are looking for their first away league win at the Hawthorns since August 2005 (2-3), having failed to win on their two trips since (D1 L1).
West Bromwich Albion have already won more league matches this season (19) than they managed in their last two Premier League seasons in 2016-17 and 2017-18 combined (18).
Birmingham have lost their last four league matches – the worst run of Garry Monk’s managerial career with a single club.
West Bromwich Albion’s last eight Championship goals have been scored by different players (Montero, Murphy, Livermore, Johansen, Brunt, Holgate, Rodriguez and Edwards).
Since scoring against Bristol City in February, Birmingham have had 59 shots in the Championship without finding the net.
I even remembered to mention the time for Latest Entry - 7.30pm
That's it, good luck all.
Birmingham City
