Follow live coverage as Hull City face West Bromwich Albion in the Championship today.An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

West Bromwich Albion win for the first time in nine league games as they beat Hull with first-half goals from Karlan Grant and Josh Maja.

If under-fire boss Tim Walter hoped for a fast start to get his fans back on side, albeit temporarily, conceding twice to Albion inside the opening 20 minutes was hardly the way to go about it. The manner of the two goals will not have helped his cause; both sloppy goals afforded to Karlan Grant and Josh Maja.

Following the narrow one-goal success over relegation-threatened Plymouth Argyle at The Hawthorns on September 21, West Bromwich Albion have endured a seven-game winless spell in the Championship, the club's longest run without victory since the arrival of Carlos Corberan as head coach in October 2022.

Millwall's stunning run of form, which included beating Burnley 1-0 on Sunday and then Leeds by the same score last night, has seen the Lions crash the play-off party in the Championship. West Brom have slid from top after six games to seventh after 13, but could close the gap on leaders Sunderland back to six points with a win tonight.

Hull City's winless run was extended to seven games with a 2-1 home defeat to West Brom which only increased the pressure on Tim Walter going into the final international break of the calendar year.
