just posting these stats I came across on the BBC sport website, maybe of interest to some....

I often browse through stats like this but am still unsure which stats are worth considering or not, obviously the recent form is important but what about the stat...West Brom haven't won a Premiership game on a Monday in 10 attempts...a factor or should this be ignored?

Head-to-head

• West Brom have won their last four league games against Blackpool, scoring a total of 11 goals.

• The Baggies won both of last season's games 3-2, with Graham Dorrans scoring a penalty in each match.

• The Tangerines have lost four of five Premier League matches since beating Newcastle on 11 September. The exception was the 2-1 win at Liverpool.

• They are the only top-flight side without a home win this term.

• Ian Holloway's men have lost five of the six league games in which they fell behind this season, drawing the other.

West Brom

• The Baggies have never won a Premier League game on a Monday in 10 previous attempts.

• They are unbeaten in their last six league matches, their longest undefeated run in the top flight since an eight-match streak from January to March 1983.

• Ten of their 13 league goals this season have been scored in the second half.
 
I have numbered them to make it easier to comment, I would be interested in everyone's view to which are factors whether it's for trading, in-play etc....

TEAM NEWS
Blackpool captain Charlie Adam is a major doubt for Monday's game.

The midfielder required stitches after being caught on the ankle by Nikola Zigic in the defeat at Birmingham.

West Brom duo Marc-Antoine Fortune and Jonas Olsson are in contention after scans revealed the injuries they picked up last weekend are not serious.

Peter Odemwingie is doubtful with a knee problem, while the club will also assess James Morrison, who picked up knock in training.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackpool

Doubtful: Adam (ankle)

Injured: Almond (shoulder), Baptiste, Clarke, Martin & Rachubka (all knee)

West Brom

Doubtful: Fortune (ankle), Morrison (unspecified), Odemwingie (knee), Olsson (Achilles)


MATCH PREVIEW
Both these sides have defied expectation following promotion to the top flight, but while Blackpool's momentum has faltered in recent weeks, in-form West Brom go from strength to strength.

The lads are flying at the moment and there is a real aura around the club. We feel like we're unbeatable

West Brom striker Simon Cox
Victory against Fulham last weekend saw the Baggies move into a Champions League spot, albeit only for 24 hours. Confidence is high at the Hawthorns right now, while competition for places is fierce, with last season's star performer Graham Dorrans unable to break into the starting XI.

Roberto Di Matteo made 11 changes for Tuesday's Carling Cup tie at Leicester but the Baggies' back-ups cruised to a 4-1 win.

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway shouldered the blame after last week's defeat at Birmingham, admitting he was outwitted by opposite number Alex McLeish. Those comments deflected attention from Charlie Adam's error, which gifted Blues their second goal. Adam is currently in dispute with the club over bonus payments. A Premier League hearing is expected to resolve the row before next weekend's game against Everton.

The Tangerines have now lost four of their last five games, and are still waiting for their first home win in the Premier League. The last time Bloomfield Road toasted a top-flight victory was on 26 April 1971, when the Seasiders beat Crystal Palace 3-1
