Blackburn's form has been shakier. They've won only two of their last eight league games, drawn three and lost three. Away from Ewood Park they've struggled for wins too - draws at Portsmouth, Lincoln and Wolves plus a defeat at Preston, with no victories on the road in that stretch.

That leaves Blackburn on a winless run away from home just as they travel to a West Brom side who've been solid on their own patch.

How It Might Play Out

West Brom's home matches in this run have leaned towards clean sheets and narrow wins, while Blackburn's away games have been tighter, lower-scoring affairs without much luck in front of goal. That combination could point to a cagey game rather than a shootout, though Blackburn's overall goals record shows they're not shy of conceding either.
