West Bromwich Albion go up against West Ham United in the Premier League at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The home side are looking to build on their impressive point at White Hart Lane on Monday night, while West Ham still have an outside chance of a top-four finish.

West Brom

Tony Pulis's Baggies are without a win in six Premier League matches, but their comeback and draw against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week has all but handed the title to Leicester City.

West Brom were outplayed in the first half and fell behind through Craig Dawson's own goal, but the defender then turned home at the other end as the visitors produced a much-improved second-half display to earn a point and reach 41 for the season.

An impressive result given Spurs' desire to collect the points and the Baggies did well to score against the league's best defence, but that was only their second goal in the recent six-game winless streak.

Only Aston Villa (25) have scored fewer goals than West Brom's 32 this season, and the Baggies have created a league-low 169 goalscoring attempts from open play.

Pulis's recent trend to start with mostly defensive-minded players has hardly helped West Brom's creativity, and how the Welshman would like to have a player like West Ham's Dimitri Payet.

The Frenchman, with 102, has created 75 more chances for his teammates than Darren Fletcher (27), who is West Brom's most creative player this season in the Premier League.

West Ham

Although the Hammers are undefeated in their last nine league matches, they have only won one of the last five, and that was 10 days ago when they saw off Watford 3-1 at home.

It would have been tough to watch their FA Cup quarter-final conquerors Manchester United, instead of them, beat Everton at Wembley in the semi-finals as they got a weekend off, so they will be keen to continue their solid form in the league.

The lack of wins recently means that there is a eight-point gap to fourth-placed Arsenal, though West Ham do have a game in hand on the Gunners and a seemingly favourable end to the season.

The Hammers have scored at least two goals in their last six league matches, but they have also conceded at least two goals in their last four away league games.

It would still be a big surprise if he made Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016, but Andy Carroll is certainly a man in form.

The towering striker has scored six goals in his last six competitive appearances for the Hammers and over half of his 23 Premier League goals for the East London side have been scored with his head (12).

Payet's aforementioned 102 chances created is more than twice as many as any other West Ham player.

We say: West Brom 1-2 West Ham

West Brom spoiled Spurs' title hopes on Monday night and that might just play a part here against a West Ham side keen on back-to-back wins.
