Follow live coverage as West Bromwich Albion face Cardiff City in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Cardiff City held West Brom to a 0-0 draw at The Hawthorns, to extend their unbeaten run to five games. Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick had arguably the game of his season, with a series of impressive saves to keep the Bluebirds in the contest.

At the other end, City went agonisingly close to taking the lead, as a brilliant delivery from Perry Ng was headed onto the bar by Callum Robinson. Posing a threat on the counter-attack, winger Anwar El Ghazi then broke forward and cut inside onto his right foot, before firing over.
