Tim Sherwood is the early favourite with Sky Bet to succeed Sami Hyypia as Albion manager.

The Football League sponsors have the ex-Spurs chief as their 3-1 frontrunner, followed by Sven-Goran Eriksson (6-1), Tony Pulis (8-1) and Hyypia's assistant Nathan Jones (10-1).

Albion's odds with Sky Bet to be relegated from the Championship have tumbled from 20-1 at the start of the season to 2-1 second favourites.
