They have lost only one of their last 26 league clashes, dating back to April 1989. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Potters have won seven of the last eight league meetings between the two clubs, including a Premier League double during 2008\/09, the only season both clubs have been in the top flight since 1984\/85. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 West Brom&#8217;s sole victory over the Potters this millennium was a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns in September 2003. Scott Dobie was the man on target. <\/p>\n<p><b>Stoke<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Potters are the only team in the Premier League who have not scored a goal in the opening 15 minutes of a match this season. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Kenwyne Jones has netted only once in his last 15 appearances for the Potters. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Robert Huth is on the brink of his 150th career Premier League appearance. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Andy Wilkinson could make his 100th league appearance for the Potters. <\/p>\n<p><b>West Brom<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Baggies have the worst defensive record in the top flight, having let in 52 goals. They have gone a club record 25 Premier League games without a clean sheet. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Their only clean sheet this season came in the second game of the campaign, a 1-0 home win over Sunderland. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 They went fourth after beating Fulham on 23 October but have since taken only 13 points from 18 matches (W3, D4, L11). <\/p>\n<p><b>LEADING GOALSCORERS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!-- S IIMA --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- E IIMA --><\/p>\n<p><b>Stoke<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Huth: 7 goals (6 league); Jones: 7 goals (5 league); <br \/>Walters: 7 goals (3 league) <\/p>\n<p><!-- S IIMA --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- E IIMA --><\/p>\n<p><b>West Brom<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Odemwingie: 9 goals (9 league); Tchoyi: 4 goals (3 league) <\/p>\n<p><b>MATCH OFFICIALS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Referee<\/b>: Michael Oliver <\/p>\n<p><b>Assistant referees<\/b>: Andy Halliday &#038; David Richardson <\/p>\n<p><b>Fourth official<\/b>: Mark Halsey <\/p>\n<p><b>LAST LEAGUE MATCH LINE-UPS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Stoke <\/b>(L0-1 v Arsenal, a): Begovic, Wilson (Wilkinson 87), Shawcross, Huth, Pugh, Pennant, Whitehead, Delap, Whelan, Walters (Fuller 78), Carew.
