West Bromwich Albion have the chance to record a third straight league win for the first time since August 2025 when they welcome Queens Park Rangers to The Hawthorns on Saturday. The fixture pits the Championship leaders against a visiting side yet to lose away from home this season.
Home fortress and history
James Morrison's team are unbeaten in their last ten home matches across all competitions, a run that began after a 2-1 defeat to Coventry City on 21 February. Their recent form at home against QPR is particularly strong, with seven games unbeaten and victories in the last three meetings at The Hawthorns. The last time QPR won in West Bromwich was a 4-1 Premier League success back in April 2015.
The Morgan factor
A key reason for Albion's strong start is the form of 20-year-old forward JJ Morgan. With three goals and three assists in six Championship games, he has more goal contributions than any other player in the division this season. He scored the winner against Watford earlier this month and provided the assist for the only goal in last weekend's 1-0 victory at Derby.
QPR's contrasting challenge
While QPR sit fourth and have taken seven points from nine on their travels, they arrive with a clear weakness. They have failed to score in eight of their 13 away Championship matches in 2026, the highest such figure in the league. They have also drawn a blank in their last two outings, last going three games without a goal in early 2026.
West Bromwich Albion top the table with 13 points from six games, holding a two-point lead. They will be without Mikey Johnston and Nolan Galves through injury for this fixture. The club's next match after this is a trip to face Sheffield United on 19 September.
