West Brom Preview – Can West Brom take derby spoils?
West Brom picked up something of a bonus point last time out in the Premier League when they managed to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw away from home at the Etihad Stadium with The Baggies holding onto what could prove to be a vital point in their quest to avoid relegation.
However, despite their heroics in Manchester, the fact still remains that West Brom have managed to pick up just one win throughout this season to date and the hosts still occupy a place in the bottom three ahead of this west midlands clash with Aston Villa.
That rare success came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Premier League basement dwellers, Sheffield United, but having already lost three of their six matches at home to date with losses against Leicester City, Tottenham and a heavy 5-1 thrashing by Crystal Palace, The Baggies will do well to get a point here.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa increase Baggies woes?
Following recent back-to-back defeats against Brighton and West Ham (games that Villa would have fancied their chances of gaining further points from), Sunday’s visitors, Aston Villa, have since staged a mini-revival as they picked up a solid 1-0 win away from home against another west midlands club, Wolves, as well as a point in a 0-0 draw at home with Burnley.
Two clean sheets on the trot will have pleased Villa manager, Dean Smith, as they now turn their attentions to this Sunday clash against West Brom who have managed just one win to date this term while Villa have picked up six wins from 11 matches so far this season.
Even more impressive is the fact that four of Villa’s six wins have been achieved away from home with wins registered at Fulham, Leicester City, Arsenal and Wolves, and this makes them a more attractive prospect out of the two teams in this encounter.
