Chesterfield vs West Brom Prediction
West Brom have been one of the most in-form teams in the Championship and will look to replicate their league form in the Cup.
The Baggies' positive run has been propelled by a watertight defence. They're expected to come out on top against a side ranked 58 places below them in the English league hierarchy.
The visitors should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
