West Brom face Bournemouth at the Hawthorns on Saturday, Feb. 25. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
West Brom have been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. Tony Pulis’s side find themselves in eighth place in the table, six spots ahead of where they finished last season and within four points of a much more fashionable Everton side in seventh. They’ve shown the defensive stability we’ve come to expect of a Pulis team, while offering a slightly greater attacking threat. Salomon Rondon remains one of the most underrated forwards in the league, while Nacer Chadli and Matt Phillips have added extra creative impetus around him.
Bournemouth looked like they were heading for another comfortable mid-table finish for most of the first half of the season, but they’ve dropped off significantly the past couple of months, and are now in danger of slipping into the relegation battle. The Cherries haven’t won a match in any competition since beating Swansea 3-0 on Dec. 31. They’ve lost four of their last five in the league, including a 6-3 thrashing at the hands of Everton on Feb. 4. Eddie Howe has proven himself as a capable attacking coach in his one and a half seasons in the Premier League so far, but persistent defensive problems, plus several whiffs in the transfer market, have put him under pressure for the first time as Bournemouth manager.
