West Brom vs Preston North End: Weather forecast, ticket details and travel information

West Brom are set to return to Championship action against Preston North End on Saturday.

Preston are preparing to travel to face West Brom as Ryan Mason attempts to get back on the winning trail at The Hawthorns.

West Brom lost 3-0 to Millwall last time out as the Baggies put in one of their worst performances of the campaign.

The international break has represented an ideal period to rebuild and has also allowed someone like Isaac Price to thrive away from West Brom.

Mason will be hopeful that his side can bounce back and secure three points as Paul Heckingbottom’s side rock up in the Black Country.
