Bilić calls on ‘important’ away support

Slaven Biliu0107 says he will need Albion’s boisterous away following to be at their very best when his side make the five-mile journey to Birmingham City on Saturday.

The Baggies, whose allocation of 2,800 seats sold out four weeks ago, will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 12 Sky Bet Championship fixtures in the lunchtime kick-off at St Andrew’s.

And Biliu0107, who understands the place Blues-Albion takes in the West Midlands local derby pecking order, still expects a “special” game.

“I’m looking forward to it, of course, I’ve been told about this game,” he said.
