The visitors

Hull City will head to The Hawthorns buoyed by Wednesday night's crucial 2-1 victory over Oxford United at the MKM Stadium. 

It was a result which moved them five points clear of the drop zone with nine Sky Bet Championship matches remaining. 

It was the Tigers' third win in their last five second-tier fixtures having also recorded a 1-0 success at Sunderland and a 2-0 triumph at home to Plymouth in recent weeks.

The only game Ruben Selles' side have lost in their last six was at Cardiff City on February 25, and Saturday's guests will be determined to edge further away from the bottom three ahead of the March international break. 

On their travels, Hull have won six, drawn three and lost nine of their 18 encounters so far this season. They've had some eye-catching triumphs on the road, sealing victories at Blackburn Rovers, Millwall, Sunderland, Sheffield United, QPR and Stoke City.

Selles, a 41-year-old Spaniard, was appointed in December following the departure of Tim Walter. The former Southampton and Reading boss will take charge of his 21st Tigers game at The Hawthorns, winning seven, drawing five and losing eight of his first 20.

One from the history books

Albion claimed a 3-1 Premier League victory over Hull City in January 2017. 

Robert Snodgrass gave the Tigers the lead, but efforts from Chris Brunt, James Morrison and then Gareth McAuley meant the points went the way of the home side.
