"Starting with the hosts, while West Brom might have entered November's international break with a much-welcomed 2-1 victory at home against Oxford, it appears that was just a minor boost for the Baggies. Suffering a dramatic second-half collapse away at runaway leaders Coventry over the weekend as they eventually marked their return from the fortnight interval with a 3-2 defeat, it appears that Ryan Mason could already find some increasing pressure on his shoulders. Still scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the table,"
"Registering just a single clean sheet since the start of October, West Brom have also drastically failed to find any kind of stability on home soil. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to a disappointing end at the hands of Derby back on August 12th, Mason's men have recorded just a pair of wins from any of their last seven showdowns at The Hawthorns across all formats - a run that stems back to the opening weekend."
"As for the visitors, while Birmingham might have entered November's international break with a 2-1 loss away at Middlesbrough, the Blues certainly came roaring back in some style over the weekend. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 4-1 victory against Norwich, Chris Davies' men could be smelling the chance to make another statement here."
West Brom returned from the international break with a 2-1 home win over Oxford but followed with a 3-2 defeat at Coventry, exposing defensive frailties and mounting pressure on Ryan Mason. The side has collected four points from six Championship matches and has managed only one clean sheet since October. Home form is unstable with just two wins in seven matches at The Hawthorns across all competitions. Birmingham rebounded from a 2-1 loss at Middlesbrough to beat Norwich 4-1 and had earlier registered consecutive 4-0 wins over Portsmouth and Millwall. Chris Davies' team sit close to the play-off places and show strong attacking momentum.
