    The Championship action seemingly never stops this Saturday.

    We're well into the evening but we've still got one more fixture for you coming up in Cambridgeshire.

    Peterborough United host West Brom at London Road in a meeting of two sides who had two divisions between them last season.

    Posh were promoted from League One while West Brom came down from the Premier League.

    So far this campaign, it's been an unbeaten start for one and a tricky and testing one for the other.

    Will it go with form or will we perhaps see an upset? Stick with us to find out.
