As can be seen from below, eight points from the first six games has become pretty standard for Albion of late, for the last four seasons at least. Only in 2010 and 2012 have Albion bettered that start in the Premier League.
The Baggies also managed to maintain their record of never having lost their sixth game of a Premier League season, but only twice have they managed to win game 7, the last time back in 2012 when the beat QPR 3-2 at the Hawthorns.
