West Brom receive high praise from opposition
Southampton boss Russell Martin has labelled Albion as ‘the best of the rest’ ahead of Sunday’s play-off first leg at The Hawthorns.
Albion have occupied fifth position in the Championship table for the majority of the campaign – without threatening to break into the top four.

Martin explained: “They’ve been good, they’ve been really, really good.
“So, everyone spoke about the top four, and how difficult that race was.
