The two promoted teams are still very much in the relegation fight but Stoke are in much better position. This is probably the last chance for West Brom to keep their survival hopes alive, whereas Stoke can allay their relegation fears with three points from this match.

Just as we have predicted, West Brom managed to avoid defeat at Upton Park but every next match is a must win for the Baggies. Bolton lost at home to Fulham and they will return to the dangerous zone if they lose this game.

West Ham won the last two league games and they are now in contention for the European places. The Hammers are favourites in this match but West Brom are not without chances. They are six points adrift of safety and will try everything to take all three points from Upton Park.

West Bromwich lost another league match and their chances of ensuring survival are getting smaller by the minute. They have no choice but to try and win this game, with the only positive is that their next opponent, Arsenal are also in a very poor form, having drawn their last five league games.

Everton continued the good run of results by taking a point from St James Park and they are hot favourites in this match. West Brom stayed rock bottom after losing to Fulham at Craven Cottage and they don’t have much to hope for in this match.

Fulham lost to Manchester United in midweek but they will not be too downhearted by the result and will try to return to winning ways by beating West Brom. The Baggies are still rock bottom after the home defeat to Newcastle and they will have to go for a win in this match.

West Brom twice came from behind to earn a draw against Hull and they will now try to win this game and finally escape the foot of the table. Newcastle are still in a difficult position after 1:1 draw against Sunderland and they will also try to win this game.

Burnley earned a replay by scoring a late goal in the first match at the Hawthorns and they will now try to continue what they have started and qualify to the fifth round of the competition. West Bromwich have plenty of problems in the Premiership and they could be forgiven for not being completely focused on this match.

Hull City and West Brom share the spoils with a Chris Brunt penalty handing the visitors a vital point.

Hull recorded another defeat as they lost to West Ham at Upton Park and the Tigers desperately need to win this game and restore some of the lost confidence. West Brom were trashed by Manchester United at the Hawthorns, but mostly because Robinson was sent off early in the game.
