Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 15 games

Published on: Author: Jon Want

The football was definitely better and for a 0-0, it was an exciting game, but Albion’s winless run extends to 13 games in the Premier League.

The change in philosophy is aptly demonstrated by the shots statistics. The Baggies had 20 shots against Palace and 6 on target – both figures are more than double the season average.

Albion have another big game next weekend as they will face the bottom of the table side in successive games after the point Crystal Palace picked up at the Hawthorns lifted them to 18th place with Swansea City dropping to 20th.

Game 16 last season saw the Swans visit the Hawthorns, a game memorable for a headed hat trick from Salomón Rondón.
