MATCH CENTRE: Albion v Crystal Palace

Baggies braced for Eagles encounter (5.30pm ko)

AFTER four successive away games and some 1000 miles clocked up, finally Albion return to The Hawthorns.

The Hawthorns will be rocking with in the region of 24,000 fans as many take advantage of our Kids For Quid offer for the 5.30pm kick-off against Crystal Palace.

Albion fans travelling to the stadium are urged to look out for 'Brunty' bucket collections in and around The Hawthorns - including the Fanzone. All proceeds are going to Chris Brunt's nominated charities, Acorns and The Albion Foundation.

The Fanzone opens later than usual - 2.30pm – because of the TV-switched kick off but the giant screen will mean you don’t miss any of the build-up.

Live music is provided by four-piece Birmingham covers band Happy Accident while an inflatable football shoot-out and Bucking Bronco will keep the kids busy. Soccer Saturday will keep you up to date with all scores.


The Baggies are on 32 points but will be without James Morrison and Callum McManaman due to injury. Tony Pulis hopes Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans and Craig Dawson will be fit for the Barclays Premier League fixture.

Can't make it to the game? Do not fear...

You won't miss a kick of the action across the club's digital platforms.

Albion Radio will provide live commentary (click here) while you can follow the Baggies on Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram for match coverage.
