Domestic games are back Friday, with West Bromwich Albion looking to move top of Championship; odds and picks

Does anyone think these International breaks are a bit ridiculous at this point, and that they last waaaaayyyyy too long?

Oh, that is an almost universal opinion? I am glad I am not alone.

Anyway, we are finally back top domestic action, for about three weeks before the next break (🙄), so enjoy it while you can.

While the Premier League is back tomorrow, there is a very interesting contest in the Championship Friday, with West Bromwich Albion able to go top of the table with a victory over Birmingham City.

AFC Bournemouth has a tough match with Bristol City tomorrow (and has to deal with the tough news about David Brooks), so the Baggies may end the weekend in the top spot.

IF they can win today, which I think they will.
