History of the West Bromwich Albion v Southampton fixture

West Brom. prepare to entertain Southampton at The Hawthorns on Monday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Baggies are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 5 of the 31 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was just last season, in February 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

West Bromwich Albion are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. A generous 11 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
