West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to revive their promotion challenge under new manager Steve Bruce.

Bruce has been appointed to replace Valerien Ismael at the Albion helm following a disappointing run of form.

West Brom are currently clinging on to the final Championship play-off spot on goal difference from Middlesbrough.

So, just how likely are Albion secure a top-six finish this season? We have taken a look at what a "supercomputer" is predicting, using data provided by FiveThirtyEight.

The Baggies have been predicted to finish in seventh on 71 points and therefore miss out on the play-offs by a single point.

They have been given a 37 per cent chance of making it to the play-offs and a 14 per cent chance of securing promotion.

Blackburn Rovers, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough are all predicted to finish in the play-off places, with Fulham and Bournemouth going up automatically.
