Albion’s regular Sky Bet Championship league campaign will draw to a close at Derby County's Pride Park on Sunday (ko 12.30pm).
The opposition
Frank Lampard has been Derby manager since May 2018, and under his leadership the Rams are currently in 6th position in the league.
They'll confirm a play-off spot with a win on the weekend, but will have to rely on Middlesbrough and/or Bristol City slipping up if they don't get a result.
The Rams' top scorer so far this season is Harry Wilson, who has 16 goals to his name.
Last time out
Our last meeting with Derby County was at The Hawthorns, as the Rams won 4-1 in October. Jack Marriott, Tom Lawrence, Harry Wilson and Scott Malone scored for Derby, before Jay Rodriguez scored a consolation goal for Albion.
The last time that the Baggies travelled to Pride Park, it was a 2-2 draw. Paul Dickov put the home side ahead before Simon Cox levelled for Albion. The game was full of late drama, with Graham Dorrans scoring in the 92nd minute for the Baggies before DJ Campbell snatched a late point for the Rams.
