Albion begin a run of three games in a week ahead of the March international break when Ipswich Town visit The Hawthorns this Saturday (ko 3pm).
The opposition
Ipswich currently sit bottom of the Sky Bet Championship table. They’ve picked up 21 points having won three, drawn 12 and lost 20 of their 35 games so far.
Town are managed by former Norwich City, Aston Villa and Wolves boss Paul Lambert after the dismissal of Paul Hurst back in October.
Last time out
The last time the Baggies faced Ipswich was in November, with Jay Rodriguez and Harvey Barnes helping the Baggies into the lead.
Kayden Jackson scored for the Tractor Boys with five minutes left to play to ensure it would be a tense finale, but Albion held on to win 2-1 at Portman Road.

From the archive
Here are the highlights from a 2-0 victory for Albion against Ipswich Town at The Hawthorns in August 2009.
The Baggies were two up by half-time thanks to goals from Youssouf Mulumbu and Robert Koren, which would prove to be enough for the three points.
