Sky Sports are at it again as they clearly haven't been following transfer developments at West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies have made seven new signings so far this summer, while there have also been a few departures recently.

In recent years, the broadcaster has lost many football fans due to its deteriorating coverage and arguably extortionate pricing model.

With The Hawthorns hosting Burnley on 23 August, Sky Sports have made an embarrassing gaffe in promoting the coverage.

James Morrison's team have made a good start to the season, beating Rotherham in the Carabao Cup and Norwich in the opening game of the Championship, but there have been changes in B71 since then.

With deadline day still a few days away, there could still be plenty of change at the Black Country outfit, and Sky Sports' broadcasting team may need a reminder.

Alex Mowatt error made on Sky Sports for West Brom vs Burnley

Alex Mowatt has completed a move to Derby County this transfer window after five seasons at West Brom.

The 31-year-old English midfielder made his debut for the Rams in their 2-1 loss to Charlton Athletic.

However, Sky Sports still seems to think Mowatt is a Baggies player.

One Albion fan shared an image of a live Sky Sports broadcast, with the now-Derby midfielder and Zian Flemming being used to promote the Black Country outfit's next fixture.

How James Morrison has already found Alex Mowatt upgrade at The Hawthorns

Mowatt was a key player for West Brom in recent seasons, but it felt like the right time to sell, with the midfielder's contract expiring at the end of the season.

Felix Horn Myhre and Rabby Nzingoula have arrived at The Hawthorns to bolster the engine room.

The 27-year-old Norway international has had a strong start to life in the West Midlands and seems to be Mowatt's replacement in the middle of the park.

Ousmane Diakite can provide stability in the midfield, while Myhre adds a creative spark to Morrison's team.

If Harry Whitwell and Isaac Price continue their fine form out wide, the Albion may have enough quality to be one of the contenders for a play-offs spot this season.
