West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Blackpool last time out in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Blackpool, who had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. A number of teams visiting The Hawthorns have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 12 clean sheets.
There will be mixed feelings from The Baggies, although undefeated in their last 12 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland manager Tony Mowbray will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Huddersfield Town. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Mowbray will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home. Given that they have scored in 18 of their away games this season, their travelling support will be feeling optimistic about a good result whenever they are on their travels.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ross Stewart will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Sunderland's last 6 league games.
West Bromwich Albion recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Black Cats defence has struggled at The Hawthorns, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Hawthorns, The Black Cats have been unable to break through the West Brom defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, The Baggies' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Sunderland will have to take their chances when they come.
West Brom has won the last 2 games they've played against Sunderland in the league.
West Brom manager Carlos Corberán has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kyle Bartley (Hamstring), Grady Diangana (Foot), Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon), Dara O'Shea (Knee), Matt Phillips (Muscle), Adam Reach (Muscle) and Okay Yokuşlu (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Ajibola Alese (Thigh) and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) being out for the rest of the season and Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Jewison Bennette (Shoulder), Elliot Embleton (Broken ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Niall Huggins (Hamstring) and Édouard Michut (Back) all unavailable in the shorter term, Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
