MATCH PREVIEW
West Brom will be looking to end a 29-year hodoo when they visit Stoke on Monday. The Baggies haven't won away at their Staffordshire rivals since 1982, and have never enjoyed a victory at the Britannia Stadium.
We've got to give another 11 performances at least on a par with what we produced [against Wolves] on Sunday
West Brom boss Roy Hodgson
Albion go into the match buoyed by their dramatic late leveller against local rivals Wolves last time out in what was Roy Hodgson's first game at the helm, and the former Liverpool and Fulham boss has called on his team to maintain that level of commitment in the remaining 11 games of the season as they look to drag themselves clear of the lower reaches of the table.
Defensive fragility has been the Baggies' Achilles' heel all season, and it is safe to assume set-piece plays have dominated Stoke's preparations this week.
The Potters suffered a fourth defeat in five outings at Arsenal in midweek, and they will be relieved to return to the familiar surroundings of the Britannia. But with Premier League safety all but assured, Tony Pulis has set his side the challenge of a first top-10 finish since 1975.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Stoke have traditionally been a bogey side for West Brom. They have lost only one of their last 26 league clashes, dating back to April 1989.
• The Potters have won seven of the last eight league meetings between the two clubs, including a Premier League double during 2008/09, the only season both clubs have been in the top flight since 1984/85.
• West Brom's sole victory over the Potters this millennium was a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns in September 2003. Scott Dobie was the man on target.
Stoke
• The Potters are the only team in the Premier League who have not scored a goal in the opening 15 minutes of a match this season.
• Kenwyne Jones has netted only once in his last 15 appearances for the Potters.

• Andy Wilkinson could make his 100th league appearance for the Potters.
West Brom

• They went fourth after beating Fulham on 23 October but have since taken only 13 points from 18 matches (W3, D4, L11).
