A first league defeat at Vicarage Road in more than 20 years leaves Albion six points short of their record Premier League points total with seven games to go.
In 2012/13, Steve Clarke’s team also had 44 points but managed just five in their last seven games starting with a home defeat to Arsenal in game 31. Over the Premier League years, game 31 has produced three victories for the Baggies, the most recent being the crucial 1-0 win at Carrow Road three seasons ago as Pepe Mel’s team battled to escape the drop. Morgan Amalfitano scored the only goal of the game.
