Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Neither side actually come into this match with a win under their belt from the previous five games. West Brom have drawn all of those recent matches whereas Hull have lost two and drawn the other three.

Standing second in the Championship Golden Boot race, West Brom’s Josh Maja has had an excellent start to the season, starting off with a hattrick on the opening day of the season and not looking back. He is someone that we can see grabbing himself another goal in this match making his tally go all the way up to nine goals in 15 games.

Hull City have not had the best of starts to this season’s Championship campaign. 14 games in and they sit in 18th place. Three wins five losses and six draws has left them with 15 points but it is not the end of the world for Hull City fans as there is a three point gap to as high as 12th placed Norwich City so a win and results to go their way and they can leapfrog themselves into the top half of the table.

The Tigers have suffered some bad news with winger Mohamed Belloumi tearing his cruciate ligament and will be out for the rest of the season most likely. He had grabbed himself two goals on top of two assists in the 10 matches that he featured in. The Algerian had been the club’s joint top goalscorer so far this season, sharing that title with midfield pairing Kasey Palmer and Xavier Simons as well as striker Chris Bedia. Anyone of them will have to step up in this Sunday’s game against West Brom if they want to stand any chance of taking all three points away from a decent side given Hull haven’t won in their last five games either.

West Brom have been a team on the up as of late. They have taken in their loss against Southampton in last year’s Championship Playoff Semi-Final and come back stronger. The Baggies currently stand in fifth after 14 games. Five wins, two losses and seven draws has left them with 22 points. Considering there is only a four point gap to third placed Leeds United, a win is crucial to the West Brom players. Striker Josh Maja, second in the Championship Golden Boot race, has been crucial in scoring much needed goals to save his side from losing a lot of the time, carrying the team on his back at points.

However, West Brom have been struggling to take all three points from the last six games that they have played, drawing all six of them. That might cost them in the long run in their attempts to gain promotion back into the Premier League for the first time in almost five years now. West Brom have had to deal with some injuries in the back line that could give answers to their issues. Both Patrick McNair and Semi Ajayi will be unavailable again for this one against Hull, a blessing for the Hull attackers potentially.
