West Brom are confident that this evening's Midlands derby against Aston Villa will get the thumbs-up. They've just tweeted: "Barring severe deterioration in weather, today’s derby against @AVFCOfficial will go ahead."
ON! Peterborough's hard work has paid off as their match against Hull is on. In League One, Leyton Orient's visit to Doncaster also gets the nod.
