After losing two home games against sides below them in the table, the odds of Albion securing a record points total are looking somewhat more remote.
Pulis is also seeking his first top ten Premier League finish, but with four of the top eight to come in Albion’s last five games, including trips to both North London clubs, points are looking difficult to come by.
Game 34 is at Arsenal, as it was in 2006 when Nigel Quashie equalised Alexander Hleb’s opener in Albion’s last visit to Highbury. But it was “Dennis Bergkamp Day” as the Gunners celebrated the Dutchman’s 11 years in North London, and after Pires had restored Arsenals’s lead, the man himself came on to make it 3-1 late on, his last ever goal in professional football.
