Possible delays for some fans driving to and from Walsall and West Brom matches tonight
Some fans driving to and from the Walsall or West Brom matches on December 29 might be affected by major HS2 works.
Because of rail strikes over the Christmas period, the roads are expected to be busier than usual, and to make matters worse, the M42 is closed in both directions between junctions 9 and 10.
The closure starts at 8pm and finishes at 5am but the evening kick-offs will no doubt be affected by the traffic.
A diversion is in place but National Highways: West Midlands are advising drivers to allow extra time for their journeys.

West Brom are taking on Preston at the Hawthorns at 8pm and Walsall have got Stockport at 7:45pm.
