MATCH PREVIEW
When these two sides won promotion to the top flight in May, it was West Brom who were expected to adapt more quickly to the demands of the Premier League and Blackpool who the bookies were tipping for an immediate return to the Championship.
We are going through a difficult stage of our season but there is no magic stick... It's a challenge for all involved - for myself, staff, players and the supporters too
West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo
Six months into the new season and a very different picture has emerged. While Blackpool have lived the tangerine dream, thrilling the Premier League with their uncompromising commitment to attacking football, it is West Brom looking nervously over their shoulder towards the relegation trapdoor.
The Baggies' slide began with a 2-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road in November's reverse fixture and they have been in freefall ever since, picking up just seven points from 11 games and plummeting from fourth in the table to 16th. Roberto Di Matteo will be hoping that a victory here could spark an equally dramatic turnaround in fortunes.
Blackpool, meanwhile, continued their fairytale debut season in the Premier League by completing the double over Liverpool courtesy of a 2-1 victory at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday, and another double over West Brom could see them finish the day in the dizzying heights of seventh.
MATCH FACTS
