STAT ATTACK - Palace v West Brom: Palace aim for top three against miserly travellers Baggies

The six Premier League meetings between these two sides have followed a pattern of a win for Palace, followed by a draw, followed by a win for West Brom. If the pattern is to continue, the Eagles will need to win again.

West Brom have only failed to find the back of the net in one of their six Premier League clashes with Crystal Palace.

The Baggies have enjoyed just two wins in their last 14 PL trips to London (D5 L7), with their last win in the capital coming against Palace in April 2015 (2-0).

West Brom have kept 14 clean sheets in the Premier League in 2015, two more than any other side.

This will be Alan Pardew’s 26^th PL game with Palace, the same number Tony Pulis oversaw at the club in the competition.

So far the Eagles have won more games (14 v 11), scored more goals (36 v 26) and averaged more points (1.72 v 1.46) under Alan Pardew than in Pulis’ reign at the club.

63% of the points (27/43) that Palace have won under Alan Pardew have come away from home, with almost twice as many victories achieved on the road than at Selhurst Park (nine wins away, five wins at home).

13 of the 16 goals in games featuring the Eagles this season have come after half-time.

Saido Berahino has scored in consecutive PL appearances for the first time since March, but he hasn’t scored in three in a row since October 2014.

The Eagles have gone 20 top-flight games without a draw (W11 L9), a current run only Manchester City have gone longer than (21 games).
