It’s a game that means an awful lot in that part of the Midlands and the pair renew their rivalry in what will be both managers’ first experience of the Black County derby.
May 2021 was when the fierce local rivals last faced off with Mbaye Diagne’s second-half goal was enough for the Baggies to maintain their impressive home record against Wanderers.
The Hawthorns has turned out to be an extremely unhappy hunting ground, with Wanderers’ last victory coming in September 1996; Wolves fans wouldn’t have imagined the 4-2 victory to be their last in B71 for 28 years.
With the Baggies now in the Championship, Gary O’Neil will be hoping to finally end his side’s Black Country hoodoo.
