West Bromwich started the season well, but in the last round he "squandered" three balls from Brighton's elite newcomer and suffered the first defeat.

The good news for "thrushes" is the return to the team of Gareth Macaulay. The defender has already played after the injury for a duplicate squad. Do not forget that Gareth is useful not only for the defense of his goal, but also for attacking strangers - in the last campaign he pummeled as many as 6 goals in the Premier League!.

West Ham is practically the mirror opposite of the BBA. "Hammers" began the season with three defeats in a row, but in the last round of the newcomer elite (Huddersfield) played. This allowed Slaven Bilic to retain his post, but talk of the resignation of the Croats quieted down only for a while and a failure in the game with the "thrushes" would rouse them with renewed vigor.

Interesting Facts:.

- West Ham lost only 2 of the last 13 Premier League matches against the BWA (B3 H8).

- Tony Pulis lost only 1 of the last 6 fights against West Ham in the Premier League (B3 H2).

- Chicharito scored 3 goals and made 2 assistants in 5 championship matches with West Brom.

- Gareth Barry needs only 1 fight to repeat Ryan Giggs' record in the number of matches in the Premier League (632).

Also, Gareth can become the first player in the history of the Premier League, 600 times based on.

The trainers say:.

Tony Pulis, West Bromwich: "We need to improve after the defeat from Brighton. And we have a chance to do it in the game with West Ham ".

Slaven Bilic, West Ham: "We need to take advantage of the backlog that we created on Monday. Our confidence in our forces has returned - so let us apply it ".
