Without playing particularly badly, West Brom find themselves three points adrift at the foot of the table and under pressure as they prepare to host third-bottom Southampton.

However, Albion have a lot of winnable fixtures to come and signing Daniel Sturridge gives them an X-factor up front.

Sturridge, Jay Rodriguez and Salomon Rondon could do plenty of damage before the end of the season and the Baggies' enhanced attack may give them the edge over struggling Saints.
