Ross Barkley cuts inside before letting fly but his shot has the sting taken out of it by a defender and Sam Johnstone gathers comfortably.

The wind is definitely a factor. It's blowing my hair and I ain't even got any!

Oooh, Sam Johnstone almost rues his own hesitancy as he can't decide whether to come for a Matt Targett cross. In the end, he is caught in no man's land as the ball is poked back across goal but his defence comes to the rescue.

Now Aston Villa go close at the other end as Anwar El Ghazi works a bit of space for himself outside the box and hits a decent effort at goal but Sam Johnstone is equal to it.

This has been a really good game. Both sides absolutely going for it now. Proper derby.

What a chance for West Brom to go ahead!

The excellent Matheus Pereira sends a dangerous free kick into the box and Okay Yokuslu is first to it but heads wide of the far post.

Mike: WBA doing their best to keep the relegation interesting! It might just be Brighton feeling nervous.

RightBoring: Let's scrap the 90 minutes and just have a penalty shoot out instead, then we can all watch Line of Duty!

It's been a really entertaining game. Villa started the better, but now West Brom are right back in it.

Sam Allardyce had little to smile about for the first 20 minutes but that goal should cheer him up.

Now West Brom have a penalty!

Ainsley Maitland-Niles is caught inside the box after good work from Callum Robinson. VAR is happy with the decision and West Brom have a big chance here from the spot.

Okay Yokuslu deals with an Anwar El Ghazi cross as Aston Villa come forward again. The hosts are dominating possession with 62%, all very comfortable so far.

Anwar El Ghazi has scored five goals against West Brom, at least three more than against any other opponent in all competitions for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa have started really, really well and are looking very capable of matching their 3-0 win at the Hawthorns earlier this season and they come forward again but Ross Barkley is flagged just offside.

West Brom need a miracle. They conceded early against Leicester and their heads dropped. The need to stay in this game.

Credit to Aston Villa though, they have been brilliant so far.

West Brom have the chance to respond with a free kick just outside the area. It is prime Matheus Pereira territory but he puts it over the bar.

Ooooh penalty. Yep absolutely.

Ross Barkley is adjudged to have been tripped inside the box and the hosts have a penalty!

Semi Ajayi catches the midfielder. VAR has a look and agrees with the on field decision.

Big moment for both sides here...

West Brom have their first real opportunity to threaten with a free-kick midway inside the Aston Villa half. The Villa defence has to contend with a bright setting sun in their eyes but Matheus Pereira's delivery has too much on it anyway and goes behind.

Aston Villa are dominating. West Brom forward Mbaye Diagne has to do more for me. He's going to have a physical battle today. Last match he wasn't good enough.
