Sheffield Wednesday welcome West Bromwich Albion to Hillsborough on Saturday as the Championship campaign draws to a close.

Despite a recent two-point deduction, the Baggies secured their second-tier status on Saturday, with James Morrison’s side playing out a 0-0 draw with Ipswich.

The former midfielder took charge on an interim basis in February and has earned widespread praise after overseeing a sensational 10-match unbeaten run.

Wednesday, on the other hand, will be desperate to see the back of this season, with their tally still sitting at minus three after an 18-point deduction ravaged their campaign.

As they look to end the season on a high, Albion will travel to South Yorkshire backed by a strong following.

How to watch Sheffield Wednesday vs West Brom

With the season nearing its conclusion, the relegation picture is now settled, but the fight for promotion remains finely poised.

Against that backdrop, Albion’s meeting with the Owls will be screened on Sky Sports+.

In the race for the play-offs, Wrexham, Hull City and Derby County remain locked together in the battle for the final place.

That is likely to take precedence on Sky’s main channels on Saturday afternoon, although Ipswich and Millwall’s games could yet take centre stage as the two sides vie for automatic promotion spot.

Those unable to make the trip to Hillsborough on Saturday will still be able to follow events via Sky Sports+, while BBC Radio WM will provide its customary live commentary.

Party atmosphere awaits for travelling West Brom fans

Following the sacking of Eric Ramsay at the end of February, few among the Hawthorns faithful could have imagined the position Albion now find themselves in.

Even with the deduction, the Baggies secured safety with a week to spare, and the question now dominating discussion is whether Morrison should be handed the role on a permanently.

With a trip away from home to round off the season, the travelling contingent can look forward to a raucous atmosphere in the away end at Hillsborough.

And if the sun does indeed shine over South Yorkshire, it will provide a fitting backdrop to what has been a magnificent end to the campaign – one that might so easily have unfolded very differently for Albion.
