Albion will complete his preparations for the new Premier League season with a behind-closed-doors friendly against Graham Potter's former club West Bromwich Albion at the American Express Community Stadium this Saturday.

The match kicks off at 3pm, and although supporters will not be allowed in for the game they will be able to watch a live stream of the game on MyAlbion TV.

Slaven Bilic will bring his newly promoted Baggies to the Amex as both teams play their final pre-season match ahead of the start of the new Premier League campaign the following weekend.

West Brom kick off at home to Leicester City on Sunday, 13th September, before Albion face Chelsea at the Amex the following night.

Albion played Portsmouth in a behind closed doors friendly on 22nd August at the American Express Elite Performance Centre before the match with Chelsea last weekend.

Potter will be without six of his first-team squad with Leandro Trossard (Belgium), Joel Veltman (Holland), Aaron Connolly, Shane Duffy, Jayson Molumby (Republic of Ireland) and Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden) all with their respective countries on international duty for this weekend's Nations League fixtures.

The live stream of the match is expected to start at around 2.45pm on MyAlbion TV, which fans can access via MyAlbion Digital, which is free to join by clicking here.
