EFL: Bristol City v Swansea starts Saturday's action

It's history repeating for West Bromwich Albion today as, with Carlos Corberan now in charge, the struggling hots kick off a new managerial era at home to Sheffield United.

The Blades also provided the oppostion for Steve Bruce's first game in charge of the Baggies back in February. And Albion will be hoping that this lunchtime's encounter at The Hawthorns proves happier than that miserable night for Bruce back at Bramall Lane almost nine months ago.

Albion captain Jake Livermore had sent off, and they lost 2-0. And Bruce lost his skipper for the next four games, as he had already been sent off earlier in the season, ironically against Corberan's Huddersfield.
