    West Brom v Swansea (12:00 GMT)

    West Bromwich Albion's ongoing tussle with Leeds United over top spot in the Championship is beginning to resemble a never-ending tennis rally, with neither side budging an inch.

    Just when one thinks they have hit a clean winner to assume superiority, the other returns it with interest to reassert control.

    After Leeds sliced through Huddersfield on Saturday to reclaim advantage, can Slaven Bilic's Baggies serve up a meaty reply this Sunday lunchtime?

    This is no simple volley at the net, however - because their visitors to The Hawthorns today are a Swansea side protecting the Championship's only unbeaten away record.

    Ladies and gentlemen, play starts in 15 minutes. Take your seats and enjoy.
