West Bromwich Albion finished 13th in the English Premier League in 2014-2015 and had wins over Manchester United and Chelsea in May 2015. Although West Brom finished their season with a loss to Arsenal in the last game of the season, hopes are high for the Baggies, who also beat Tottenham and Southampton in 2014-2015. A lot of that optimism comes from 22-year-old forward Saido Berahino, who scored 20 times for West Bromwich last season, including 14 goals in the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion has mainly bought in the transfer window, adding James Chester, Rickie Lambert, and James McClean, but could still lose Saido Berahino before the season starts.
West Bromwich opens the season by hosting Manchester City and host Chelsea before the month of August ends, capping the most brutal month of the season with a trip to Stoke City as well. Of the seven matches from April to the end of the season, West Bromwich has four road fixtures, but does play Watford and West Ham at home in the last five games.
