EFL expert drops ‘exciting’ West Brom promotion prediction

EFL expert George Elek has predicted that West Bromwich Albion can maintain their strong form and challenge for Championship promotion this season. Speaking on the Not The 20 Podcast, Elek praised the Baggies after their recent 3-0 victory over Millwall, which featured goals from Isaac Price, Jayson Molumby, and Felix Horn Myhre. Under manager James Morrison, West Brom currently sit fifth in the table after 15 matches, just one point behind leaders Birmingham City and Middlesbrough.

The72's Harry Mail argues that West Brom should be viewed as genuine promotion contenders under Morrison's leadership following a productive summer transfer window. Morrison reshaped the squad by bringing in players including Jimmy-Jay Morgan, Barney Stewart, and Rabby Nzingoula, while parting ways with Alex Mowatt, Jed Wallace, and Karlan Grant. The Baggies next travel to face Swansea City as they aim to continue their push for the Premier League.
