West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City head into tonight's Championship clash in very different moods.

West Brom will not be happy with the start to the season they have made, with Steve Bruce's side yet to pick up their first win of the season despite some decent performances.

Cardiff City, meanwhile, have picked up two wins so far, and have so far managed to make things work despite a huge overhaul of their squad this summer.

With that in mind, here is all you need to know about the clash ahead of kick-off this evening.

Latest team news

The hosts are set to continue to be without their big money January signing from last season Daryl Dike.

Baggies boss Steve Bruce recently confirmed that the forward has suffered a 'substantial' injury and could be out for at least a couple of months.

For Cardiff City, meanwhile, they will be without West Brom loanee Cedric Kipre, who is unable to play against his parent club.

Ebou Adams and Isaak Davies remain out, but other than that, the Bluebirds have a clean bill of health heading into the weekend.

 

 

Is there a live stream?

The game is not being shown live on Sky Sports television or red button, unlike most Championship midweek fixtures generally.

However, the match can be streamed via the two club's respective channels.

WBA TV passes can be purchased here, and Cardiff City match passes here.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off at The Hawthorns tonight is scheduled for 8PM UK time.

Score prediction?

West Brom will be desperate to get that first win of the season and I think they will do so, despite Cardiff having started the season brightly.

I'll back the Baggies to pick up a narrow 1-0 victory, but this one could quite easily end in a draw.
