West Brom are ready to welcome Ipswich Town to The Hawthorns on Saturday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. Only 9 wins have been recorded in the 28 games, with 12 ending in defeat.
The previous match played between the two at The Hawthorns was more than three years back, in April 2000, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
