Did you know?

West Brom can become the first promoted team to go unbeaten v Pep Guardiola in a Premier League season since 2016/17, when Man City drew both meetings with Middlesbrough.

West Brom have only had a longer top-flight winless run versus Liverpool (19 encounters between 1981 and 2010) than their current 18-match winless streak against Man City. 

Man City have won their last six top-flight trips to West Brom, their longest such away streak versus one club.

Since losing 5-2 to Leicester City, Man City have conceded only seven goals in 16 Premier League matches, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process.
