Team news

Here are the line ups.

Fact me

  • This is the first league encounter between these teams since April 1993 in the third tier, a season in
    which the Baggies were promoted to the second tier of English football.
  • Their last top-flight meeting was in February 1983, a goalless draw at Brighton’s old Goldstone Ground. The Seagulls have never beaten West Bromwich Albion in the top-flight (D5 L3).
  • Only one team has lost their first four matches as a Premier League club – Swindon Town, while the only team to fail to score in their first four matches as a Premier League club are Swansea City.
  • Brighton have failed to score in their opening three Premier League games of the season and have attempted just six shots on target so far.
  • There have only been three previous occasions of a side not scoring in their opening four games of a Premier League campaign: Swansea in 2011-12, Newcastle in 2005-06 and Sheffield Wednesday in 1993-94 and none of those were relegated that season.
  • The Premier League record for longest time taken by a team to score a goal in a season is 438 minutes, held by Newcastle United in 2005-06.
  • Tony Pulis has won seven of his last eight managerial meetings against Brighton (D1), most recently a 3-0 victory in the FA Cup fifth round as Stoke boss in February 2011 when the Seagulls were managed by Gus Poyet.
  • West Bromwich Albion have scored just seven goals in 12 Premier League games since the start of April.
  • In Tony Pulis’ reign at the club, West Bromwich Albion have won just three of their 15 Premier League matches against newly-promoted opposition (W3 D7 L5).
  • Since Tony Pulis took over at WBA on January 1st 2015, the Baggies have scored both a league high number (44) and proportion (44%) of their goals from either corners or in-direct free kick situations.
  • West Brom have played a league-high 26.4% of their passes long in the Premier League so far this season.
