The visitors
Southampton will arrive in the West Midlands in a rich vein of form having secured 13 points from the last 15 available.
The Saints, who finished inside the play-off positions in 2025/26, have recorded wins over Portsmouth, Norwich City, West Ham and QPR, as well as a draw against Bolton Wanderers in recent weeks.
And while they've been dominant at home, winning six of their seven in the league at St Mary's, it's been more of a mixed bag on the road this season, with two wins, two draws and two defeats on the record.
However, those two wins came in their last two on the road - games against Norwich and West Ham in October - so Tonda Eckert's side certainly have momentum heading into Tuesday night.
After a career in academy football and stints as an assistant manager at Barnsley and Genoa, Eckert has now cemented himself as a senior head coach and boasts one of the most successful points-per-game records in the EFL.
Since taking the top job permanently in December 2025, the German has overseen 50 fixtures, winning 30, drawing 12 and losing just eight, earning a PPG of 2.04 in all competitions.
His impressive record has Southampton already firmly sat in the play-off spots despite being dealt a four-point deduction ahead of the campaign.

Did you know...?
Albion will be hoping to end Southampton's six-match unbeaten streak in this fixture on Tuesday. The Saints have won four and drawn two of those six. The Baggies' last victory against the side from the south coast was the 3-0 triumph in the Premier League at The Hawthorns in April 2021.
The away side has been victorious in just one of the last eight head-to-head matches - a 2-0 win for Southampton at The Hawthorns in February 2024.
