West Bromwich Albion return to Sky Bet Championship action with a home game against last season's League One champions Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).
Both teams suffered 3-1 defeats in their final matches before the October international break, with the Baggies beaten at Birmingham City and Argyle losing in front of their own supporters to Swansea City.
This weekend's clash will be the first meeting between the two sides for more than 13 years.
The encounter against Pilgrims is this term's dedicated Foundation Day.
The message this time around is 'Be Part of our Family' and 'Fundraise for the Foundation', with the aim to showcase the variety of programmes The Albion Foundation deliver to tackle a broad range of issues our community faces.

The opponents
Plymouth will be satisfied with how their first 11 games in the Sky Bet Championship have gone after spending the last 13 years away from the second tier of English football.
The Pilgrims sit on 11 points - three clear of the bottom three - heading into the latest round of Championship fixtures and their visit to The Hawthorns.
Last season's League One champions have been involved in a number of really entertaining, high-scoring matches so far, including 3-1 and 6-2 home wins over Huddersfield Town and Norwich City respectively.
They've found the net 22 times in all competitions already this term and are the division's joint-fifth highest scorers (Albion and Swansea City also on 18 goals after 11 games).
Back-to-back defeats at Home Park to Millwall and then Swansea before the international break will have been tough to stomach for boss Steven Schumacher though, with the 39-year-old seeing his team lose just twice there in the league in 2022/23.
The club's former assistant boss was promoted to the senior position in December 2021 and is now just three fixtures away from reaching a century at the helm. He has a record of 53 wins, 18 draws and 26 defeats during his tenure.
One to remember
Three different goalscorers helped the Baggies to a 3-0 Championship win over Saturday's guests back in March 2008.
Zoltan Gera, Ishmael Miller and Roman Bender all found the net at The Hawthorns that particular afternoon.
