The start to this campaign remains Albion’s worst in the Premier League but a point at Brighton is their first on the road this season. However, if you are looking for positive omens, the only previous times that the Baggies have earned less than five points in their first six games, they have survived, in 2004/05 and 2011/12.
Game 7 has not been Albion’s most successful in their 12 previous Premier League season with just two victories, but one of those was against their next opponents, Fulham. Roman Bednár’s goal was enough to beat the Cottagers at the Hawthorns in 2008.
