A lovely, flowing Baggies move leads to Charlie Austin setting up Jake Livermore on the edge of the box, but the England international midfielder drags his low shot well wide.

The hosts are having a good spell now, but Matheus Pereira's latest close-range effort from the left is blocked.

Coming up, we've got three games kicking off at 18:00 BST, before Sheffield Wednesday host Preston from 19:45.

The Rams have had more than 70% of possession, but haven't yet tested Sam Johnstone in goal.

However, when the Baggies do get the ball and break, they're ever so threatening. Kamil Grosicki clips an effort from outside the box well over the crossbar, from the latest half-chance.

Derby are seeing a lot of the ball at the moment, but mostly in their own half. They've had it fairly constantly since the drinks break.

It's time for the first-half drinks break and the Baggies will be very happy with the scoreline so far, after Grady Diangana's opening goal.

The visitors' Graeme Shinnie gets this game's first booking as he catches Matheus Pereira with a late one.

The Rams won three of their first four games after the restart in June.

They started very brightly in this game but have looked a little bit flat since falling behind.

The rain is so heavy at The Hawthorns, we can hear it hammering down on the roof of the stand.

There's a long way to go, but the as-it-stands Championship table now has West Brom top of the pile, above Leeds, who host Stoke tomorrow.

It's almost 2-0 to the Baggies, after some lapse play from Derby as they try to play the ball out from the back, but Matheus Pereira fires just wide.

In case you weren't in the East Midlands on Saturday, Derby's last game ended in dramatic fashion, as Chris Martin's 97th-minute equaliser earned them a point in a 1-1 draw against fierce local rivals Nottingham Forest. It was just about as late as they come.

They've got some defending to do here now, but the Baggies' Kamil Grosicki curls over the bar after a neat move.

Derby look bright, in these opening few minutes. The first real chance falls their way but they can't capitalise from it.

Louie Sibley's low cross from the right picks out Duane Holmes in space at the back post, but he takes a touch and then his shot is blocked.

When he looks back, he might wish he'd struck that first-time.

Derby have won on both of their past two visits to The Hawthorns in all competitions, including a 4-1 thrashing in October 2018.

They've got the possession in the very early stages.

Derby County, in an away strip that consists of turquoise shirts, shorts and socks, get this game started.

The Baggies are in their traditional blue and white home kit.

It is absolutely chucking it down at The Hawthorns. The players are out on the pitch in the pouring rain, ready for a very, very big game.

Big win for Middlesbrough who clamber out of the relegation zone for the time being at least and will now turn their attentions to Hull's game at Bristol City.

Touch of controversy about the first goal, was it a foul on Jake Cooper? The key thing is it wasn't given and subsequently Britt Assombalonga scored and the penalty from Ashley Fletcher was further salt in the wound.

Millwall were dogged and hard to break down but failed to really test Dejan Stojanovic. Have to pay credit to Neil Warnock, this was a defensive tactical masterclass.

Play-off hopes fading fast sadly for the Lions.
