Albion welcome Peterborough United to The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon for their latest Sky Bet Championship fixture (ko 3pm).
The Baggies will want to bounce back from last weekend's last-gasp defeat at QPR and record their first victory of 2022.
Visitors Peterborough sit inside the bottom three having won just one of their last 10 league matches. They do, however, have games in hand on the sides directly above them in the table.
Saturday's clash is the first league meeting between the sides in B71 since Boxing Day in 2009.

Opposition
Peterborough United head to The Hawthorns hoping to become the first Championship side to beat the Baggies in their own back yard.
Posh's return to the second tier of English football hasn't gone as smoothly as they would have liked and sit inside the bottom three ahead of their trip to the West Midlands.
Darren Ferguson's side have lost more games than any other team in the division (15) and have won just one of their last ten league matches.
Peterborough have struggled on their travels too, losing 11 of their 12 trips, winning the other at Hull City in the middle of October.
But having played less games than the sides above them in the table, and with those teams still well within touching distance, Peterborough United will know they have more than enough time to turn their season around and secure Championship football again for the 2022/23 campaign.
Posh have played just one league fixture in 2022 after a number of postponements owing to COVID-19, last weekend's disappointing 4-1 defeat on home soil to Coventry City. Ferguson will be demanding an improvement against Albion.
Classic clash
Albion beat Posh 3-0 at The Hawthorns in the 1993/94 campaign.
Bob Taylor's headed brace and Gary Strodder's strike secured all three points.
Did you know?
The 2021/22 campaign is just the fourth in which Albion and Peterborough United have been in the same division.
The two sides came up against each other in 1991/22 in the old Division Three, in 1993/94 in Division One and again in 2009/10 in the Championship.
In the seven previous league meetings, Albion have won five, drawn one and lost one against Posh.
