We said: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Preston North End

West Brom's stellar record at The Hawthorns suggests a comfortable win for the hosts on Saturday, but it could become an intense affair for the Baggies should Hull score early on at Plymouth Argyle. Preston are stumbling towards the second-tier finishing line, and we cannot envisage the Lilywhites disrupting Albion's top-six ambitions in this one. Read more.
