Albion will take on Hull City at The Hawthorns in their penultimate Sky Bet Championship home fixture of the season (ko 3pm).
The opposition
Hull City are managed by Nigel Adkins, and under his guidance they are currently in 9th place in the table and have won 17, drawn 9 and lost 16 of their 42 games this season.
The top goalscorer for the Tigers is Jarrod Bowen, who has bagged 21 goals this season.
The Tigers signed former Albion defender Liam Ridgewell in January after he left Portland Timbers.
Last time out
Our last meeting with Hull ended in defeat for the Baggies, as the Tigers came out as 1-0 winners back in November, with Fraizer Campbell scoring the only goal of the game for the hosts in the first half.
The last time that the Tigers visited The Hawthorns, Albion ran out 3-1 winners. Hull had taken the lead through Robert Snodgrass, but Chris Brunt, Gareth McAuley and James Morrison all scored for the Baggies to secure a fourth consecutive home victory against Hull for Albion.

From the archive
Here are the highlights from Albion’s 2-0 win against Hull in August 2006, courtesy of a John Hartson double.
Hartson’s first came just before the hour mark and he completed his brace at the death to secure the points.
Head to head
Albion narrowly beat Hull in the head-to-head record.
Of the 55 matches that have been played, the Baggies have won 20 times, there have been 16 draws and Hull have won on 19 occasions.
