ALBION begin a hectic Christmas schedule at Rotherham United’s AESSEAL New York Stadium this Saturday (ko 3pm).
The opposition
Rotherham are currently sat 20th in the Sky Bet Championship table after picking up 22 points from as many games.
It’s their first campaign back in the second tier following promotion via the play-offs from League One last season.
They are managed by Paul Warne, who’s been in charge permanently since April 2017 following a six-month spell as caretaker boss during a tough period for the club.
Last time out
The most recent meeting between the sides was in 2009 when Albion beat Rotherham 4-3 in a thrilling Carling Cup clash.
Craig Beattie's brace, as well as goals from Graham Dorrans and Simon Cox, helped the Baggies squeeze into the third round with the help of extra time.
