West Brom are already associated with a special moment in Brighton's campaign; the newly promoted side's first win back in the top flight came against them.

Chris Hughton's side look comfy now in 12th place, but zoom in to the points column and Brighton are only three points above the relegation zone and very much in a battle to stay up.

West Brom were the original 'Great Escape' club. They may need to summon the spirit of 2005 when - never mind being bottom at Christmas - they were bottom for much of the season's final afternoon before miraculously surviving.

It is 20 league games since the Baggies last won, and almost half of that run has been under Alan Pardew.

West Brom are enduring a club record winless run of 20 league matches, losing 10 of them.

The Baggies have won only two of their last 31 Premier League fixtures, whilst Alan Pardew has won just one of his last 19 top-flight games as a manager.

These are all ugly statistics. Very ugly. I mean, to not win a league game since August. Surely you can even fluke a win in that time span.

Whatever way you look at it, there is no escaping just how long it has been since West Brom won a match in the Premier League.

It was on 19 August, a 1-0 away win over Burnley under previous manager Tony Pulis.

Sunny days, the cricket season was still going and we were all dancing to the Reggaeton hit 'Despacito'. Yes, that long ago.

Will today be the day Baggies fans finally taste victory in the league again? We'll find out over the next couple of hours in this live text commentary so stick with us.
