Our opponents
Preston North End might be forgiven for being grateful to be back on their travels on Thursday night.
The Lilywhites, who are just one point off the play-off positions, have lost both of their last two games on home soil to QPR and Huddersfield Town, but away from Deepdale, it's a completely different story.
Only Sheffield United (23) have collected more points on the road than Thursday's visitors (21), with the Blades playing one more match away from home than Preston.
Ryan Lowe's men have won six and lost just two of their 11 away games and will be on the hunt for a third successive away win at The Hawthorns after previous triumphs at Reading and then Blackburn Rovers.
Lowe has been in charge of the club since December 2021 and has won 20, drawn 16 and lost 16 of his 52 games.

Former Baggie Callum Robinson scored a consolation for the visitors in the 90th minute.
One for the stattos
