  • West Brom had no response to Hayden Hackney's 29th-minute opener on Tuesday night as the Baggies were beaten 2-0 by play-off chasing rivals Middlesbrough.
  • Tony Mowbray's men have failed to win any of their last three league games, but the poor form of the other play-off contenders is keeping them in the hunt.
  • Portsmouth will be full of confidence when they travel to the Hawthorns this weekend.
  • The reigning League One champions scored twice in the first nine minutes en route to a 3-1 win against Stoke on Wednesday night, and are now three points clear of the relegation zone. John Mousinho will believe his side can end a run of five straight away league defeats on Saturday.
