Albion 3 Plymouth 0

16.59: Full time at Albion and a return to form for the Baggies.

16.49: Burnley level again and that brings the Baggies closer to third.

16.48: Baggies still threatening a fourth, as Barnett heads over. They will not gain on the teams above them but at least it is a confidence booster.

16.46: Watford back in front at Burnley as Kim brings cheers from the crowd with his silky skills.

16.43: Bednar is replaced by Kim with the game safe.

16.41: Albion are “rampant” now according to Swain as they push for a fourth.

16.35: Burnley level against Watford, good news for Albion, who could move within two points of third place if it stays like this.

16.31: Surely all over now, as Bednar makes it 3-0. Gera heads a Greening cross into the path of the striker and he fires home from three yards.

16.28: Miller is replaced by Moore.

16.27: With Watford 1-0 up and Bristol City 2-1 ahead it’s vital that Albion get the three points.

16.24: Albion go clear as Miller puts them 2-0 ahead. It’s a “remarkable” goal, with the ball bouncing in the box Miller somehow concoctss an over-the-shoulder effort, which flies in.

16.22: The game was in danger of turning ugly as Barnett clashed off the ball with Maclean.

16.16: Plymouth break and Albrechtsen does superbly to block Halmosi’s shot.

16.14: Barnett heads over the bar from Brunt’s corner. The Baggies threatening a second at the moment.

16.12: Albion immediately back on the offensive in the second half.

16.11: Back in action at The Hawthorns.

15.58: A rare stat surely. All five West Midlands teams are 1-0 up at half time.

15.49: But the Baggies hit back and Gera scores just before the break to give The Hawthorns a major boost. Miller’s shot is saved but the Hungarian is on hand to turn the rebound in from six yards.

15.47: Plymouth are finishing the half strongly but there’s still no end product from either team.

15.41: Gera has been pulling the strings for the Baggies since coming on.

15.35: Swain: “Albion are on top without being totally convincing.”

15.30: Opportunity on the counter for Plymouth, their first real foray into Albion territory but Easter’s pass evades Halmosi.

15.25: Miller misses a great chance, through on goal, he curls his shot but it clips the outside of the post. Should have scored there.

15.20: Major blow for the Baggies, a heavy challenge from Sawyer leads to Teixeira going off injured. The Portuguese is stretchered off, and it looks serious.

He is replaced by Gera.

15.17: Mistake from Albrechtsen, who is having a nightmare start, gives Plymouth a corner but Albion deal with it.

15.16: Miller’s touch lets him down as he threatens to bear down on goal.

15.13: Bristol City lead 1-0 at home to Hull, more pressure on Albion.

15.12: Martin Swain is watching the Baggies today. He says it has been a much more positive start than last week.

15.05: Albion force an early corner, which comes to Albrechtsen but he can’t make a clean contact.

15.00: We are underway at The Hawthorns.

14.51: Baggie boys, we will keep you up-to-date with goings on at the top. For the record it’s Burnley v Watford and Bristol City v Hull. Stoke play QPR tomorrow.

14.43: A few pics to keep you interested before kick off. Take a look at football grounds from the air

14.17: Three changes for Albion, Phillips and Morrison are injured and Gera dropped to the bench. Miller, Brunt and Teixeira all come in.

Plymouth are unchanged.

Albion: Kiely, Hoefkens, Barnett, Albrechtsen, Robinson, Teixeira, Greening, Koren, Brunt, Miller, Bednar.

Subs: Moore, Beattie, Martis, Gera, Kim.

14.15: mark1 is preparting properly for the big game today. What do you like to do before the match? Pub? Home? Old goals videos? In the ground for 1pm? Let us know below.

14.06: “In a local pub beer garden watching kids albion v plymouth kick a fruit shoot bottle around and albion are winning 12-11. Hope its less nail biting in a couple hours,” says mark1.

14.00: Albion need a win this afternoon, probably more so than at any other time this season.

They face the Championship’s form side in Plymouth, who gained 12 points out of 15 last month and sit just one place below the Baggies.
