With just one win and four points from three games, West Brom are currently in 13th position in the league standings.

West Brom then picked up their first win of the campaign with a narrow 3-2 defeat of Swansea City but were pegged back by Leeds United in their next game.
On the other hand, Middlesbrough are winless in the league right now, having lost twice and drawn once from their opening three games.
Boro went down 1-0 to Millwall followed by a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Coventry City. On matchday three, the North Yorkshire outfit picked up their first point of the season by holding Huddersfield to a 1-1 draw.
