After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sunderland in Championship action, West Bromwich Albion and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The forward players for West Bromwich Albion have suffered from a lack of goals over their last 6 encounters, recording the disappointing return of only 4. In those fixtures, The Baggies have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 5.
Leading up to this clash, West Bromwich Albion:
- remain undefeated by Bristol City when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. A solid away record against them.
- have not won away from home in their last 12 league matches. It's not a good run at all.
