West Brom vs Harrogate live stream live stream, Sky Sports Football, Wednesday 16 September, 7.45pm BST
Fresh from a 4-0 thrashing of Southend on their Football League debut, Harrogate Town will be looking to spring a surprise against West Brom in their first ever League Cup outing.
The Baggies were beaten 3-0 by Leicester at the weekend, marking their return to the Premier League in inauspicious fashion. Slaven Bilic will shuffle his pack for the visit of Harrogate, with many of his regular starters likely to be preserved for Saturday’s trip to Everton.
Sunday’s defeat by Leicester served as a reminder of how difficult this season will be for West Brom. A poor end to last term and a relatively quiet summer saw Foxes fans enter the campaign with more pessimism than optimism, while West Brom were hoping to carry over last season’s momentum and winning habit into this.
Instead, the Baggies were comfortably overcome by Brendan Rodgers’ side, leaving Bilic with plenty to think about as he attempts to plot a path to survival.
For now, the focus is on this League Cup second-round tie. West Brom could revert to a four-man defence after using three at the back against Leicester, with the likes of Ahmed Hegazi, Cedric Kipre, Kamil Grosicki, Kyle Edwards, Hal Robson-Kanu and Charlie Austin expecting some game time.
Harrogate manager Simon Weaver will need to select his side carefully: after Wednesday’s trip to The Hawthorns, Town have three games in the next 10 days.
Former Premier League striker Jon Stead, now 37, could lead the line alongside Mark Beck in Harrogate’s 4-4-2 formation.
Even if Bilic opts for his second string, West Brom should prove too strong for the visitors. Harrogate will be full of confidence, though, so an upset is not beyond the realms of possibility.
The winner of this game will face either Southampton or Brentford at home in the third round.
Kick-off is at 6pmBST and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Football in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch a West Brom vs Harrogate live stream live stream live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
