Match 23 has not been kind to the Baggies in their Premier League years with no victories just three points from the nine fixtures to date. This weekend’s match also represents Albion’s last chance to grab a second January victory in a Premier League season for the first time.
This will be the third time in four seasons that Villa will be Albion’s opponents in round 23, the previous two games ending in a 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns in 2013 and a 4-3 defeat at Villa Park a year later.
