Check out some of the pre-match stats ahead of Albion's Sky Bet Championship trip to Derby County on Wednesday night (ko 7.45pm)...
HEAD-TO-HEAD
The two teams went head-to-head three times in the 2025/26 season. Derby scored exactly one goal in all three of those fixtures, with two ending 1-1 and the other finishing 1-0 to the Rams.
Albion will be trying to break Derby's run of eight games unbeaten in this particular showdown. The Rams have won five of the last eight in 90 minutes across all competitions, with the other three ending level. The Baggies' last triumph against the East Midlanders was a 2-0 result at home in July 2020.
The Baggies have scored exactly one goal in four of the last five meetings with Derby County.
Derby boss John Eustace has never lost a Championship game he has managed against West Bromwich Albion, winning three as Birmingham City boss, drawing one as the Blackburn gaffer and winning two and drawing one while in charge of the Rams.
Wednesday's clash is the 129th meeting between the two clubs. Derby have the better head-to-head record with 57 wins to Albion's 38. There have also been 33 draws.
DERBY COUNTY
The Rams will be looking for their first home win of the 2026/27 season having drawn one and lost two of their first three matches at Pride Park. They are without a victory in any of their last four home encounters. Their most recent home triumph was in April 2026 when they beat Oxford United 1-0.
Swansea City won 3-0 in the East Midlands in late August - becoming the first team to stop Derby County scoring in a match played at Pride Park since Preston North End managed to do so in September 2025. It halted the Rams' 23-game run of scoring in front of their own supporters.
Derby have drawn just one game since Chris Mepham nodded in a late leveller for the Baggies at Pride Park towards the end of January earlier this year - 2-2 against Cardiff at home last month. That means it's just one draw in the last 23 outings in all competitions for Wednesday's hosts.
Only Charlton Athletic (31) have had fewer shots in the Sky Bet Championship than Derby County (35) so far this season.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Having prevented Watford from scoring on Saturday afternoon, Albion have the chance to record back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since a run of five straight shutouts in April earlier this year.
Forward JJ Morgan has five goal involvements in his five second-tier appearances so far this term. He's got three goals and two assists and will be looking to score in back-to-back Championship games having netted the winner against Watford.
James Morrison's team have lost just two of their last 16 games in the second tier (Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough away from home).
Albion have scored in 10 of their last 11 away games in all competitions. The only time they failed to register a goal during that sequence was when they drew 0-0 at Blackburn in the Championship in April 2026.
