Albion are making travel plans for a trip to Preston after their Carabao Cup win over Portsmouth.
The tie at Deepdale has been confirmed for Wednesday of next week with a 7pm kick-off.
It will not be televised live but will be available via the EFL’s own Carabao Cup streaming service, priced £10.
The Argus understands Albion’s carefully risk-assessed travel plans to the North East this weekend are not affected by tightened lockdown rules in the region.
