Both these sides ended 2016 with encouraging results, although the fact West Bromwich managed to win 2-1 at Southampton but Hull were pegged back by Everton to draw 2-2 tells the story of their respective seasons. Tony Pulis’s side are riding high in eighth place and will look to consolidate that today, whereas Hull, in 19th, know they need to start winning soon if an instant return to the Championship is to be avoided.
