West Brom won just two of their last eight games in the Championship this season, but with the teams around them showing similarly shaky form, they managed to finish comfortably within the playoff places. At least they managed to win their final game of the season, beating 10th-placed Preston North End 3-0 here at The Hawthorns, and another result like that would have the Baggies dreaming of their first playoff trip to Wembley since losing to Derby in 2007.

Southampton finished a whopping 12 points ahead of today's opponents, winning both meetings between the sides during the regular season, but the Saints are inexperienced when it comes to playoff football, appearing just once before in 2007, when they were also beaten by Derby. This is a squad that has plenty of Premier League experience, though, and even looked an outside bet for automatic promotion not too long ago.

Here's how the teams line up:

West Brom XI: Palmer (GK), Furlong, Bartley, Kipre, Townsend, Mowatt, Yokuslu, Fellows, Diangana, Johnston, Thomas-Asante.

Southampton XI: McCarthy (GK), Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Manning, Downes, Smallbone, Aribo, Adam Armstrong, Mara.

Both teams will want to secure an advantage ahead of the second leg later this week, so read on to find out you can watch a West Brom vs Southampton live stream wherever you are.
