Albion’s recent good form will face its sternest test on Sunday as they visit Stamford Bridge to take on Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side who have won their last eight games in the Premier League and sit three points clear at the top of the table.
Victory over Watford lifted Albion into 6th place, albeit briefly as Sunday’s match between Everton and Manchester United will see one of them move above the Baggies.
The Baggies entertain Watford at the Hawthorns on Saturday looking to score their first goal against the Hornets in the Premier League, and with Tony Pulis facing a selection dilemma.
The result at Hull left Albion fans with a similar feeling to that after the match at Sunderland – a lost opportunity. The Baggies should have come away with all three points at a struggling team, but left with only one.
After recording successive Premier League wins for the first time since January, Albion head to the KC Stadium on Saturday looking to make it a hat-trick against struggling Hull City.
Back to back wins for the Baggies have lifted them into the top half of the table and, from a season comparison point of view, this campaign is now second only to the remarkable start enjoyed by Steve Clarke back in 2012.
