Albion will pay tribute to Baggies fan Mark Townsend during the Championship fixture against Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns on Tuesday (ko 8pm).

Mark, a 57-year-old Birmingham Road End season-ticket holder, passed away on Saturday following a medical emergency during the club’s game at Sheffield Wednesday.

Carlos Corberán’s men will wear black armbands for the clash with Boro and the club also invites fans to join a 57th-minute applause.

The thoughts of all at the club remain with Mark’s family at this desperately sad time.
