🗞 Match Preview: West Brom (FAC - H)Menu Home Tickets Friday, January 27th 2023 The Robins welcome the Baggies to Ashton Gate in the Fourth Round of the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday (3pm). City are back in Emirates FA Cup action, once again at Ashton Gate. Saturday brings the Robins fourth home game on the bounce in BS3, where they’ll be aiming to continue their unbeaten run. The Reds left it late to book their place in the hat for the Fourth Round draw as Sam Bell bagged his first goal in City colours in a dramatic added-time victory over Swansea City in South Wales. The Academy product has developed into a fully-fledged first team forward in recent months after his goalscoring exploits for the Under-21s side have earnt him more pitch time under Nigel Pearson, an opportunity he is seemingly grasping with both hands.
A late defeat on the road against the league-leaders Burnley the only blip on an impressive run of form. Although, the Baggies would’ve liked to have made life easier for themselves in the previous round against non-league’s Chesterfield. A dominant 4-0 replay win at the Hawthorns saw Corberàn’s men advance, but they were tested on their trip to Derbyshire as a late Brandon Thomas-Asante strike rescued a draw to see their first contest end 3-3. 🎒 WEST BROM PROFILE Formed: 1878Stadium: The HawthornsNickname: The Baggies, The ThrostlesManager: Carlos CorberánFinish last season: 10th ℹ️ MATCH DETAILS When: Saturday, January 26th (3pm)Where: Ashton GateCompetition: Emirates FA Cup Referee: Matthew DonahueAssistant referee: Richard WildAssistant referee: Nigel LuggFourth official: Andy Woolmer 🔍 ONE TO WATCH: BRANDON THOMAS-ASANTE Thomas-Asante began his career with Milton Keynes Dons, where he made his professional debut in 2016 aged 17.
