As long as we don't fall behind with to an early goal, this in theory should not be the West Brom we tend to play against where they shut up shop and try to frustrate us by slowing down the game and wasting time. This should in theory suit us, we can't ignore their recent improvement in form and desire to scrap till the last so we will have to improve our own form and game from what we have seen in recent weeks.
What could also play into our hands is if Stoke win before we kick off and news starts to filter through the that Swansea have taken the lead in the last half an hour of our game because as much as they have been scrapping for their lives, it's bound to take the wind out of their sails to some extent.
I think it will be the West Brom of old.
Since their new manager has come in they have gone back to how they used to play and it has worked for them. So I expect them to keep it tight, frustrate and try to nick the points from a set piece or break away goal
