West Brom player could stand to benefit if Southampton make Carlos Corberan move
It has been an excellent start to the season for West Bromwich Albion in the Championship.
West Brom suffered heartbreak as they were beaten by Southampton in last season’s play-off semi-finals, but they look set to be among the promotion contenders again this time around.
Albion made an outstanding start to the campaign, winning five and drawing one of their first six league games, but their form has declined slightly in recent weeks, and after being held to a 0-0 draw by Millwall before the international break, they are without a win in their last three matches.
However, the Baggies are still fourth in the table, just two points behind second-placed Sheffield United and leaders Sunderland, and they will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.
Albion will be delighted with their season so far, but one negative of their positive form is that speculation about the future of head coach Carlos Corberan has emerged once again.
