West Brom v Fulham: match preview

West Brom v Fulham
West Brom v Fulham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

West Brom need to dig deep against Fulham and Sheffield United on Tuesday. Two wins would be huge in their bid to stay up but Sam Allardyce’s side have not shown any fluency yet and lady luck may have to play her part to beat Scott Parker’s draw-happy side. Not to mention the Blades, who appear to be much better than their league position dictates. A first win for Fulham since November could bring them to within touching distance of Brighton and Newcastle, who have very tricky fixtures in Tottenham and Everton, respectively. Graham Searles
