Everything you need to know ahead of Tuesday's trip to Teesside
ALBION's Premier League season continues on Tuesday as they make the trip to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough (ko 7.45pm).
The opposition
The Teessiders won promotion back to the Premier League in May 2016 after a seven-year absence. And Aitor Karanka's side have settled quickly to life back in the top-flight. Four points clear of the drop in 16th place, Boro are performing as many would have expected. A win would lift them above Champions Leicester City.
Last time out
The Baggies and Boro played out a 0-0 draw at The Hawthorns in August. Since then, the Baggies have gone on to win 18 points from a possible 27 at home.
