Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 17 games

Published on: Author: Jon Want

Despite setting a new club record of 16 games without a win, it was a positive result as Anfield as the Baggies managed to keep free-scoring Liverpool at bay and earned the point that took them out of the bottom three having dropped to 18th on Tuesday evening thanks to Palace’s win over Watford.

Only twice have Albion had fewer points at this stage of the season, and they only managed season totals of 32 and 34 points, so those records must be bettered if Premier League football is to be played at the Hawthorns next season.
