Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at the Hawthorns in West Bromwich and can be live streamed here free.
Only three points separate West Brom from Cardiff City in the Premier League table. A loss to the visitors wouldn't just move the Baggies level on points with Cardiff, it would also drop them deeper into the relegation battle. With so much riding on this afternoon's result, manager Pepe Mel is zeroed in (h/t to the Express). "I'm only concentrating on winning against Cardiff," said Mel. "Cardiff is the 'final'. It's the same for us as it is for them. The only thing that will do for us is a victory," he added.
"We've been looking at our the errors and mistakes. It was within two seconds we lost the ball from the kick off against Hull, for instance, when we lost there 2-0 last week."
"Things up until now, however, have not been done very well and we want to avoid a do or die game against Sunderland."
Will West Brom be able to avoid that situation with a victory over Cardiff this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN
