West Bromwich Albion haven’t won since August in the Premier League. And now they face a tough fixture against Swansea, which is already looking like a ‘6 pointer’.

17th place West Bromwich Albion travel to bottom club Swansea City looking for their first win in 13 games.
New Baggies boss Alan Pardew is also looking for his first win as West Bromwich Albion head coach.
It’s a huge match for Pardew early in his tenure, and should it go against him he could be massively up against it. The 66-year-old could only manage a 0-0 draw at the Hawthorns against then bottom club Crystal Palace in his first game.

Defeat against a Swansea team who’ve picked up just one point from their last seven games, could leave the Baggies level on points with 18th position should other results go against them.
When Pardew took the West Brom job, he’d have highlighted his first two games against Palace and the Swans as must win games, so a return of one point out of six against two rivals against relegation is surely unthinkable.
After Swansea, West Brom have arguably the toughest festive period in the Premier League. They play Liverpool and Manchester United before a trip to Stoke City two days before Christmas, then have a Boxing day clash with Everton before ending 2017 at the Emirates Stadium which adds to the importance of Saturday’s game.

It’s good to see Pardew back in the Premier League, and there’s usually a ‘Pardew bounce’ whenever he is appointed. Three points from the Swansea game will give the gaffer and his squad confidence in the lead up to the Christmas games.
