Premier League 2017/18: West Brom 2-3 Manchester City: 5 Talking Points

#2 November challenges for West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have a tedious November to look at

What's next for Tony Pulis? Following a poor run of form, West Brom are now 14th in the league with 10 points, just two above the relegation zone. The Baggies showed a great fighting spirit throughout the ninety minutes, but Pulis is well aware that it's the scoreline that wins you games more than anything else.

Adding another ninety minutes to their eight-game winless run, Tony Pulis became a target for criticism by the home supporters. Albeit the manager has dismissed claims that he is closer to a sack, the dismal results might as well compel him to eat his own words.

West Brom have four league fixtures in November. After a trip to Huddersfield, they have tough fixtures with Chelsea and Tottenham in the weeks following the international break, before they take on Newcastle.

The Baggies can pick up points at Huddersfield, but that is still a doubt considering the fact that the Terriers are topping the bottom half of the table. While that's a 50-50, the current form guarantees losses in the next two games, unless we rely on unexpected results.

It would be better for Pulis to pray for luck if his side doesn't improve their performances in a tough November waiting for them.
