Fact me
West Brom are unbeaten in their last five Premier League meetings with Sunderland, though four of these have ended level (W1).
Sunderland's last Premier League win at the Hawthorns came in January 2006, drawing one and losing six of their seven visits there since.
David Moyes will be the ninth different Sunderland manager to take charge of a Premier League game at the Hawthorns, in what will be just the Black Cats' 10th such visit there.
West Brom's last three home goals against Sunderland have all been scored by Saido Berahino.
Only Watford (29y 326d) have named an older starting lineup on average than the Baggies this season (29y 265d).
Sunderland have had just four different goalscorers this season (Jermain Defoe, Victor Anichebe, Patrick van Aanholt and Fabio Borini). Every other Premier League side has had at least double that.
West Brom have scored 11 headed goals this season, the joint-most in the division with Arsenal, while Sunderland are the only team yet to score one.
Only Sergio Aguero (28) and Harry Kane (27) have scored more Premier League goals than Jermain Defoe since the start of 2016 (23).
These two sides have the lowest possession figures on average in the Premier League this season (Sunderland 38.4%, West Brom 36.4%).
The Black Cats haven't been outside the relegation zone since September (133 days in bottom three as of this game date).
SunSport prediction
West Brom will be smarting from being hammered at Tottenham and Tony Pulis will have his players right in the mood to make up for the defeat - and Sunderland could struggle to live with the Baggies.
