Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 21 games

Ultimately a poor result for the Baggies, although defeat was not unexpected. 4-0 was maybe a little harsh, but only a little!

Albion next start a run of six games against clubs below them in the table, a run that could well define their season.

Game 22 has not been kind of late with the Baggies having failed to win their 22nd game in the last four seasons, although they have only lost game 22 at home once – in their first Premier League season when Jason Koumas’s opener against Manchester United after six minutes was cancelled out by Ruud van Nistelrooy just two minutes later, before goals from Scholes and Solksjaer won the points for the Red Devils.
