West Brom host Stoke at The Hawthorns on Saturday, Feb. 4. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
It’s the Tony Pulis derby on Saturday as his new side, West Brom, welcome the club he took to the Premier League — Stoke. Pulis will always be regarded as a hero by Potters fans for the work he did developing them into a team that could compete in England’s highest division. However, there won’t be any love lost on Saturday as the Welsh manager will look to take all three points. West Brom have been a surprise package this season and their impressive home form has been a big reason for their success.
The Baggies are currently four points ahead of their opponents on Saturday, and a win would give them breathing space in eighth place while also putting them hot on the heels of seventh-place Everton. Many expected Stoke to be more competitive this season but their performances have largely been uninspiring considering some of the players they have in their squad. An interesting sub-plot to this game is whether Saido Berahino will start against his old club. Berahino was hung out to dry by Pulis at West Brom, and until his Stoke debut on Wednesday he hadn’t played in the Premier League since September. The Englishman would relish a goal against his old club and Mark Hughes may start him for this very reason.
