After our most resounding away win since the demolition of Preston back in September, Albion bid farewell to February in Saturday's early kick-off against Hull; just one point and place beneath us in the table courtesy of three 2-1 victories on the trot, the last of which did what we were unable to in putting Southampton to the sword.

Having beaten Albion in the corresponding fixture last season, Liam Rosenior's men could make it two in a row against the Baggies at home for the first time since 1987 this weekend. Though their form at the KC/KCOM/MKM Stadium (delete as applicable) is as changeable as the ground's name - they've alternated perfectly between wins and defeats there every week since November - they were beaten by Swansea last time out, and have never lost back-to-back on home turf under Rosenior, so the pattern suggests they're due to turn in a performance. Jaden Philogene is liable to be a threat from out wide, as is Abdülkadir Ömür üp frönt.

With John Swift a doubt, the cards will more than likely be shuffled, and the opportunity's there for Mikey Johnston to make the starting line-up for the first time on the road after his superb showing off the bench on Tuesday. A win's not out of the question, but it's another tough encounter where a draw would probably do us.
