Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 37 games
With one game to go, this season is currently the 4th best of Albion’s 11 Premier League seasons and only victory at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday can change that.

The Baggies were unfortunate to lose to Chelsea having kept them at bay for 82 minutes before a mis-hit shot allowed Azpilicueta to set up Batshuayi for the winner.
Finally, both Albion’s and Rondón’s scoreless runs came to an end. The teams first goal in almost nine hours of football was scored by the Venezuelan, notching his first Baggies goal of 2017.
Albion’s dreadful run since the end of February has led to many commentators highlighting the record of Tony Pulis’s sides after reaching the magical forty point barrier that, psychologically at least, represents the target for Premier League survival. I decided to take a look at the statistics, and it doesn’t make good reading.
Arguably, Albion could have easily won any of their last three home games, but all three were lost 1-0 and Tony Pulis’s team have set an unwelcome club record of five games without scoring.
