Wolverhampton vs West Brom, 12.30pm
Three weeks ago I would have said Wolves will walk this (and they still might), but shocking injuries and a young team devoid of confidence, this screams the perfect game for Allardyce and WBA to finally show up.
Since their takeover in 2017, Wolves have been on a more positive trajectory than their neighbours West Brom, who returned to the Premier League in 2020 after a two-year absence.
However, ahead of the first Black Country derby in almost nine years, both teams are going through troubled periods which could hinder their long-term development.
Despite pre-season hopes of another top-seven finish, Wolves find themselves down in 14th position having played at least a game more than many of the other teams in the division.
West Brom had hoped to have moved closer to safety after replacing Slaven Bilic with Sam Allardyce, but the Baggies are now six points adrift of safety with a -28 goal difference.
Prediction: BTTS @6/5
