ALBION return to Carabao Cup action with a Round Three clash against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening.
The opposition
Palace arrive at The Hawthorns with an impressive record on the road, winning three of their four away games in all competitions. Albion welcome Roy Hodgson back to his old stomping ground, with our former gaffer steering the Eagles to 11th place in the Premier League after seven points from six games this season.
Last time out
The Baggies took to the field in the final game of the 2017/18 season - their first since relegation to the Championship was confirmed. After a run of five games undefeated, Darren Moore's men were beaten 2-0 at Selhurst Park after goals from Wilfried Zaha and Patrick van Aanholt.
Stats
- Albion have won six consecutive home games in all competitions. Victory over Palace would equal their best run since 2010 (7).
- The Baggies have found the net in all but one of their fixtures this season.
- Dwight Gayle has scored five goals in as many outings at The Hawthorns during his time at the Baggies. He even netted for Palace in a 2014 FA Cup tie.
