The battle for top spot in the division is beginning to heat up with both sides continuing to change positions seemingly every matchday, but Wednesday will prove to be a good showcase for supporters as to who really is the top dog in the Championship, and West Brom have been handed a positive update.
Do West Brom need to spend in January?
Yes, the squad needs that extra something
No, we're sorted for now
Slaven Bilic confirmed via The Birmingham Mail that both Grady Diangana and Kieran Gibbs will be fit for this week’s massive game against Marcelo Bielsa’s side, and West Brom supporters on social media were buzzing to hear the update from the Baggies manager on the West Ham loanee in particular.
Here’s what West Brom fans had to say about Diangana returning to the squad in time for their game against Leeds…
God that’s such great news

With the two sides only separated by goal difference as the league table shows, the winner of Wednesday’s game will have a massive advantage in the race for the Championship title heading into the second half of the season.
