  • West Brom vs Middlesbrough (Fri 8pm) - live on Sky Sports Football from 7.30pm

Ryan Mason's time at West Brom came to an end last week, and the club have acted swiftly in replacing him. In comes Eric Ramsay, the former Manchester United coach brought in from managing Minnesota United in the MLS. Just 34, it will be his first senior management role in England, and he ask a big job on his hands in resurrecting a really poor Baggies campaign thus far.

They host Middlesbrough on Friday night, who returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-0 triumph against Southampton last time out in the Championship. They begin the weekend in second spot, hoping to put some breathing room between themselves and Ipswich in third.

Coventry City are the league leaders, but a festive dip saw them win just two of eight Championship games in December and early January. The gap has closed to the chasing pack.

They host a Leicester City side who beat West Brom last time out but are still adrift of the play-offs and underperforming under Marti Cifuentes. This is an opportunity for both sides to lay down a key marker.
