West Brom boss Corberan not underestimating Sheff Wed

Carlos Corberan was appointed West Brom manager in October 2022

West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberan is well aware of Sheffield Wednesday’s threat in Saturday’s trip to Hillsborough, despite their lowly league position.

Wednesday are deep in the Championship relegation battle, one point and a place above Birmingham City outside the bottom three.

Danny Rohl has reinvigorated the Owls' season since arriving at the club in October as the youngest manager in the league, aged just 34, and Corberan knows both sides will be fighting for three points as his side continue their play-off push.

“They can’t underestimate us because we’re going to fight for a result that makes us close to our target. They are going to fight for the results that allows them to achieve their target,” Corberan told BBC WM.

“In the last 25 games, Sheffield Wednesday have collected three points less than us. They are in very good form. They didn’t start the season well, but they are in a very good moment and they are a very competitive team.”

Corberan, who was assistant manager and then head coach at Wednesday’s Yorkshire rivals Leeds and Huddersfield before moving to the Hawthorns, is expecting a fiery atmosphere with so much on the line, but wants to make the away fans proud.

“The atmosphere is going to be amazing and we like to play in front of these atmospheres. Who wants to make the fans feel proud? I can guarantee we will have the maximum commitment to make it a special season.”
