Preview

West Brom became the first team to take points off Nathan Jones' Charlton side in midweek as Callum Styles' 59th-minute goal proved enough to earn a point on home turf. That result ended a run of back-to-back defeats in all competitions for the Baggies, who sit seventh in the standings.

Watford were no match for a fast-starting Swansea side on Tuesday night as early goals from Eom Ji-sung and Adam Idah condemned the Hornets to a 2-0 away defeat. Alessio Dionisi's side are winless in three competitive outings as they travel to the Midlands.
