Last Season v Wanderers: Nothing could separate the two sides last season as two draws were fought out. A 1-1 draw at the Reebok in December, Claus Jensen hitting Wanderers' goal, was followed by an eight goal thriller at the Hawthorns. Hansen and Gudjohnsen scored to sandwich a brace by Bergsson in the 4-4 draw.

Last Year's Top Scorer: Lee Hughes

Key Man: West Brom hot-shot Lee Hughes is vital to the Hawthorns club. His goals single-handedly kept their heads above the choppy waters of relegation last year and they will play a big part again this year. Baggies fans just hope that Albion can keep the Premiership clubs away, who are already sniffing. Former Wanderers' striker Bob Taylor also played a vital role in the battle to beat the drop and he too will put fear into a few defences this term.

Directions to the ground: Exit the M5 at Junction one and follow Matchday signs for the ground. New traffic plan has made the "obvious" route via the A41 unusable on matchdays.
