For the third time in a week, Argyle take on a side in the top-six in the Sky Bet Championship table, looking for their first win in almost a month.

The Greens have lost just once at home since October but are without a win in their last four matches in all competition. They will be hoping they can claim another three points though, when West Bromwich Albion visit Home Park.

The visitors, who are winless in their last four away games, sit fifth in the table and are just a point above seventh placed Norwich City.

It will be the first time the Baggies have visited Home Park since February 2010 and supporters will be able to follow all of the action on Argyle TV.

Build-up will begin at 6:45pm with the pre-match show. Erin Black will be joined by former Academy coach, Aaron Cusack, pitch-side, soaking up all of the atmosphere and brining fans team news and views from inside both camps.

The game itself will then available to stream, worldwide, with match passes costing just £10.

Ex-Pilgrim striker Ian Stonebridge will be alongside Charlie Price for commentary and all streaming details and information on how to purchase a match pass can be found here.

Corberan touchline ban update for West Brom & Plymouth clash after red card – journalist

Carlos Corberan is not set to be banned from the touchline for West Brom’s trip to Plymouth Argyle, according to Matt Maher.

The Express & Star journalist reported via Twitter on 20 February ahead of the Championship clash at Home Park that the Baggies boss is expected to be on the bench despite getting sent off against Southampton on Friday night.

Corberan was shown an early red card in front of the watching Shilen Patel for apparently controlling a ball that was still in play on 16 February.

Maher wrote: “For those asking, believe Carlos Corberan will be allowed on the touchline at Plymouth tonight. WBA boss got his second red card of the season during Friday’s defeat to Southampton.”Carlos Corberan set for West Brom bench after Hawthorns red. It is clearly a major boost to the Baggies as they look to bounce back from the deflating loss at home to have the manager on the touchline.

The demonstrative Spaniard has more of an influence close to the action than many and his players certainly looked like they needed his leadership during a strangely flat performance against the Saints.

It may be that the excitement of the takeover news 24 hours earlier had got to everyone, including Corberan.

But if the West Brom manager is available it will give the side a greater chance of picking up a much-needed three points in the play-off race.

Influential January loan signing Andi Weimann is also expected to be fit and available after remaining on the bench for 90 minutes due to illness last time out.

So perhaps the away trip can be a belated positive response to the news that Patel is coming in to end the Guochuan Lai era.

In other West Brom news, Adrian Goldberg explained his big “fear” for the Baggies after the takeover is completed.
