West Brom have been one of the best teams in the Championship since they dropped into the division last term.
The Baggies were real promotion candidates last year as they finished fourth, and this term they’re sitting pretty in second place.
In 2018/19, the Midlands outfit were a tough nut to crack as they only lost 12 games, but that didn’t stop Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United from beating them 4-0.

It was one of United’s best victories, recovering from what seemed to be a poor run of form to comprehensively beat one of their closest challengers.
From the first whistle Leeds got at West Brom, and they didn’t take their foot off the gas for the whole encounter.
It took less than a minute for Pablo Hernandez to net the opener with Leeds beginning with an intensity that we rarely see from any side.
However, this time Leeds were slow to start and within 90 seconds of kick-off they found themselves 1-0 down courtesy of a Semi Ajayi goal.
The Whites were then chasing the game from that point, and fortunately, they managed to level the match in the second half as they went on to draw 1-1.
Just a season on from their demolition of the Baggies, they were on the wrong end of a goal within two minutes.
Perhaps that was symptomatic of Slaven Bilic wanting to give Leeds a taste of their own medicine, or perhaps Bielsa didn’t do enough to make sure his team started strongly.
The tactics of putting West Brom under the cosh from the get-go worked so well last term, but it seems as if Leeds didn’t learn their lessons from that win.
In other news, our writers have been weighing up whether or not Billy Sharp would be a good signing for Leeds.
