Two founder members of the Football League meet for the 100th time in the competition this weekend at the Hawthorns as Preston North End travel to face West Bromwich Albion.
And on top of that, it is Gentry Day, with a sell-out Lilywhites’ away following dressed in their suits and bowler hats heading down the M6 and M5 looking to celebrate and remember those connected with the club who have passed away in the last 12 months.
Both sides will be looking to take the win after recent results, with PNE hoping to record their first triumph at the home of the Baggies since Bobby Charlton’s side came away with a 2-0 success back in September 1973.
The game between the teams early on in the campaign was a five-goal thriller and with both sides’ records so far this campaign, another open and entertaining affair should be at hand for those in attendance.
Ticket Information
