It makes this season only exceptionally, because West Brom is a respectable eighth place. The team has managed to win nine of his 23 games and seems to have already played almost certainly safe. Before that Tony Pulis deserves all the credits.
Last week West Brom could prove against Middlesbrough good shape and that did it right away. The very first bout was promoted by a goal by James Morrison, but was not much later Alvaro Negredo from the penalty spot to draw level. From that moment Middlesbrough seemed to have the upper hand, but WBA held up well. Additionally, WBA still got three times the post and crossbar, but it all happened in the same attack.
That WBA remains a team that is very hard to beat, especially for teams like WBA act on the same level. The Baggies lost just one of their last four games in the Premier League and managed to win three of those four games. Especially own home is WBA strong.

Stoke That was somewhat unfortunate, because the equalizer was disallowed for offside, but eventually – after protests from the players of Everton – still approved. Mark Hughes took his players resent that they are not fast enough to play football after the first decision of the referee to reject the goal. After the 1-1, both teams had chances to win the match, but so would remain at 1-1.
In the Premier League show The Potters excellent shape. In the FA Cup, the team was indeed eliminated by Wolverhampton Wanderers (which later would turn Liverpool), but the league is Stoke now four games in a row unbeaten. In the last three games Stoke not managed to keep a clean sheet, and on foreign soil series looks less favorable. Stoke namely lost three of his last four games, but some context is required.
