We predict how many points West Bromwich Albion will get from their next four games.

Tottenham (H) – 15th October

Last season, West Bromwich Albion took two points off title chasing Tottenham Hotspur and will be looking to go one better this weekend. Despite losing Harry Kane to injury, Spurs are on a fine run of form, beating Manchester City 2-0 last time out.

The Baggies will be hoping that the international break will have disrupted Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s form. Albion are set up well to counteract Spurs’ attacking full-backs, so their biggest task will be dealing with the free roaming Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

Prediction: Draw

Liverpool (A) – 22nd October

Last time out, the Baggies were unlucky to come away from Anfield with just a point after a deflected Divock Origi strike rescued Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool are a completely different force this season and Albion will need to be at their very best to stand a chance of shutting them out. If Klopp’s rampant Liverpool team turn up then they will be too much for Pulis’s side over the course of 90 minutes.

Prediction: Lose

Man City (H) – 29th October

There will be a fascinating clash of styles when Pep meets Pulis for the first time at The Hawthorns later this month.

This game comes in the middle of a packed October schedule for Guardiola’s men. Albion should benefit from facing City in between their games against Manchester United and Barcelona. This could be the perfect opportunity for West Brom to get their first result against City in nine attempts.

Prediction: Draw

Leicester City (A) – 6th November

West Brom held in-form Leicester to a draw at the King Power Stadium towards the end of last season. The Premier League Champions have had a slow start to their current campaign and upcoming fixtures against Chelsea and Tottenham will not help matters.

Just like City, the Foxes will be on the back end of a gruelling run of matches and face an away trip to Copenhagen days before they host the Baggies. Albion have a good chance of ending this tough run with a surprise result over Claudio Ranieri’s team.

Prediction: Win
