West Bromwich Albion seem in a hurry to amass their points tally to avoid relegation this season or maybe Tony Pulis has something much grander in mind. Regardless Pulis’s new signings have hit the ground running and, with the addition of Oliver Burke from RB Leipzig, Stoke could be fearing defeat at the Hawthorns. Mark Hughes will hope the shine from his side beating Arsenal has not worn off just yet. Graham Searles
