  • 4' West Bromwich Albion FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Darnell Furlong on 4.
  • 9' West Bromwich Albion FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 14' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kyle Bartley suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' Controversy at the stadium! Okay Yokuslu argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 28' Over 28 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 29' The England Alex Mowatt breaks the deadlock on 29 minutes. 0-2!
  • 34' West Bromwich Albion FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' Preston North End FC ring the changes. Alistair McCann has done his job and it is now time for Robbie Brady to step up.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering West Bromwich Albion FC that had 382 games and scored 491 goals.
  • 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 62' What a moment for Matt Phillips! That strike on 62 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 63' Ben Whiteman has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryan Ledson on 63 minute.
  • 64' Preston North End FC ring the changes. Milutin Osmajic has done his job and it is now time for Will Keane to step up.
  • 66' The West Bromwich Albion FC bench stirs into life. Okay Yokuslu is withdrawn and Jayson Molumby gets his opportunity.
  • 71' It is a cagey affair so far. Preston North End FC in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past West Bromwich Albion FC's compact 3-5-2.
  • 76' Both keepers have barely been tested. Preston North End FC and West Bromwich Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 78' Nathaniel Chalobah is ready to make an impact after coming on for John Swift at the 78 minute mark.
  • 81' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brad Potts.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Pipa. He replaces Matt Phillips on 85 minute.
