History of the West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United fixture

West Ham Utd. pack their bags to visit West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hammers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The previous match played between the two at The Hawthorns was within the last three years, in December 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

West Bromwich Albion's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Baggies have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

West Ham Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Hammers have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

West Brom. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 29 points from their 36 games thus far. West Ham Utd.'s 49 points from 36 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
