For the third successive season, Albion have five points from the first five games. If you’re in to omens, in the last two seasons, our sixth game has prodcued a victory, 4-0 against Burnley last year and 2-1 at Old Trafford the season before, which bodes well with a trip to Villa Park up next.
In fact, Albion have never lost their sixth game of a Premier League season, winning five and drawing four, including not only the win at Old Trafford but also the win at the Emirates in 2010. Albion have also faced a trip to Villa Park for game 6, a match which finished 1-1 in 2012 when Darren Bent’s last equaliser cancelled out Shane Long’s opener.
