Aston Villa v West Brom: How to watch Championship play-offs on TV and live stream online
Aston Villa and West Brom go head-to-head in the Championship play-offs
Aston Villa host Midlands rivals West Brom in the first leg of the Championship play-offs this weekend.
Villa have spent three years away from the top flight but a rampant run of late-season form propelled them into play-off contention.
Boss Dean Smith will be keen to go one step further than predecessor Steve Bruce whose side was defeated by Fulham in last season’s play-off final.
West Brom are hoping for an instant return to the Premier League despite a turbulent season at the Hawthorns.
Manager Darren Moore was sacked in March after falling away from the automatic promotion spots but caretaker boss James Shan has steadied the ship.
The Baggies garnered a reputation as a yo-yo team in the early 00’s but none of their four promotions this century have come via the play-offs.

West Brom were poor in their final game against fellow play-off contenders Derby and will have a tough time keeping their Midlands rivals at bay.
