History of the West Bromwich Albion v Southampton fixture

West Brom. are ready to welcome Southampton to The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Baggies are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 5 of the 29 games.

The previous match played between the two at The Hawthorns was within the last three years, in September 2002, the Baggies carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.
