Police have set out the Premier League matches they would like to be played at neutral venues.
And the list does NOT currently include any of Albion's fixtures.
The matches which they have requested to take place at neutral grounds are Manchester City v Liverpool, Manchester City v Newcastle, Manchester United v Sheffield United, Newcastle v Liverpool and Everton v Liverpool - plus any fixture where Liverpool could secure the title.
That list can be amended in the case of, for example, a relegation decider, which is where Albion could come in.
Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts of South Yorkshire Police, the UK's football policing lead, said in a statement: "Our discussions with the Premier League throughout this process have been positive, with a shared focus on the priority of public health.
"As such we have reached a consensus that balances the needs of football, while also minimising the demand on policing.
"The majority of remaining matches will be played, at home and away as scheduled, with a small number of fixtures taking place at neutral venues, which, contrary to some reports, have yet to be agreed."
