Ryan Mason takes charge of his first game as West Bromwich Albion boss on the Championship's opening weekend – with his Baggies set to host Blackburn Rovers at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The former Tottenham coach was appointed as Tony Mowbray's replacement over the summer and will be charged with leading Albion's promotion charge.

West Brom have fallen below expectations in recent seasons but there is optimism that with the club now more stable under American ownership, they're ready to push on.

A familiar face will be in the away dugout at The Hawthorns as Valérien Ismaël, who had an ill-fated spell in charge of the Baggies, begins his first full season at Blackburn.

Rovers finished last season in seventh but may well struggle this term. They have lost some key players over the summer and looked abroad to replace them, which carries an element of risk.
