It’s been a hugely successful season so far for West Brom and they’ll be happy with how far they’ve come throughout the campaign.
Currently sat in eighth place and with the golden 40 points under their belts, the pressure is now off from now until the end of the season. However, they’ll need to pull themselves out of a poor run of form that has been occurring recently.
The Baggies have lost their last two fixtures against Crystal Palace and Everton respectively, failing to score in each.
Although they’re certainly safe from any trouble this season, they’ll want to push on and really make this season one to remember for the fans and in the club’s history.
So, what can we expect to see happen for Tony Pulis and his men before the end of the season?
We’ve taken a look at five West Brom-related headlines that could take place before the end of the campaign, and assessed their likelihoods!
McAuley finishes as the Baggies top scorer
It couldn’t happen, could it?
McAuley currently has six goals to his name for the season and is arguably in better goalscoring form than Salomon Rondon. The Baggies are known for their threat at set-pieces and McAuley could very well finish as the top scorer.
