WEST Brom captain Sean Gregan says Saturday's clash with Wanderers at The Hawthorns could be their most crucial fixture of the season.

The former Preston favourite, who impressed as skipper in the 2-1 win at Manchester City on Saturday, has been told he can keep the armband for the relegation "six-pointer".

Albion go into the game four points adrift of Wanderers and Gregan reckons: "If we can win this one it will do us a power of good because all the other teams around the bottom have tough games.

"It's going to be a massive game for us but we will go into it as determined as ever after winning at Maine Road."
