Albion head into the international break unbeaten for only the second time this century in the second tier. They did manage on two occasions in the Premier League only playing three games, including their most recent top flight campaign which started with two wins and a draw but ended in relegation.
It is the Baggies’ third best start to a 21st century promotion campaign behind Megson’s 2003 team and Di Matteo’s 2009 side, both of who led the table after six games.
The 3-2 win over Blackburn also keeps the record of being undefeated in game 6 in the seasons under comparison.
