An ultimately frustrating afternoon at the Liberty Stadium resulted in the Baggies’ first goalless draw of the campaign and saw them relinquish top spot to Leeds United.
Albion are still six points clear of third placed, Fulham, who themselves are four points clear of Brentford in fourth. The Cottagers still have to visit Leeds, Nottingham Forest and, of course, Albion before the end of the season, as well as welcoming Brentford to Craven Cottage, and will need a fantastic run of form if they are to catch either Albion or Leeds for a pot in the top two.
Robert di Matteo’s 2010 team are the only Premier League promotion hopefuls to have more points than Bilić’s Baggies’ total of 70 at this stage of the season and the most points an unsuccessful Albion promotion challenger has earned from 37 games is 64.
