Hull City v West Bromwich Albion; MKM Stadium, Sunday 10th November 2024, 1pm The natives are definitely restless around the Hawthorns as the Baggies’ winless run was extended to eight games with the goalless draw against Burnley, and I heard several fans commenting that it was time for Corberán to go.

A sixth consecutive draw for this season’s Baggies gives them something in common with the last Albion team to win a major trophy.
