The last seven days have clarified much for Albion, who'll now be virtually assured of a playoff berth with just one win from the remaining two matches. The same, however, could be said about survival for this weekend's hosts, Sheffield Wednesday, who've finally hoisted themselves out of the drop zone with a four-game unbeaten run, but need a good three points yet to consolidate that position.

On paper that's not an easy task for them: they're winless in the last nine against Albion and goalless in five of those matches, including the most recent two. The Owls have also failed to beat any top six side all season, conceding 24 goals in eleven encounters, and last got the better of Albion on home soil way back in autumn 2006. Indeed, since that fateful November day the Baggies have racked up as many league victories at Hillsborough as they did in the half-century preceding it, so with all of that in mind, it should really come as no surprise if Saturday's fixture ends up being 3-0 to Sheffield Wednesday.

It's April, the form books are on the bonfire, the ground is carpeted with banana skins, and Albion are Albion. But having shown plenty of mettle at Leicester last week, hopefully more of the same will be enough to see us through.
