Albion's incentive

James Morrison could see his team go joint top of the Championship by 2pm. A win here would send them back to the summit alongside Swansea.

Alternatively defeat would see Wolves draw level on points with Albion potentially in 5th as we go into the international break.

And if anyone says they expected that after 8 games, they need to take a good look at themselves because they'd be telling fibs.
