West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Leeds United. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Leeds United managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Carlos Corberán will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a good run of form at The Hawthorns recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Huddersfield Town in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Middlesbrough last time out. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Huddersfield Town who had 16 attempts and 2 on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Michael Carrick where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Middlesbrough, losing 2-0 to West Bromwich Albion.
The Boro have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with West Brom.
With only Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon) and Adam Reach (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carlos Corberán will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Anfernee Dijksteel (Unknown) and Tommy Smith (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
