Your support makes all the difference.The games are fast running out for Sam Allardyce and West Brom and they face Crystal Palace on Saturday knowing they need to win.
Still in the bottom three in the Premier League, the Baggies are eight points from safety with 10 matches left to play, though may be boosted somewhat having taken four points from their last three matches and losing just once in five.
By contrast, Crystal Palace have lost three of the last six and were hammered by Tottenham in their last outing, sitting 13th in the table heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
The Eagles are struggling with injuries at the back, and the return to full fitness of Wilf Zaha should also help, but it does look rather similar to last season at this stage when, assured of safety, they rather sleepwalked to the end of the year.

What is the team news?
Palace’s injury list remains a lengthy one, with Roy Hodgson’s defensive options particularly thin right now. Mamadou Sakho, James Tomkins, Nathan Ferguson and Tyrick Mitchell are all absent from the back line, while midfielders James McCarthy and James McArthur are likewise out.
Nathaniel Clyne could return, but maybe only to the bench.
Away side West Brom only have a concern over left-back Kieran Gibbs and are otherwise looking at a full squad to choose from.
Predicted line-ups
CPA - Guaita; Ward, Cahill, Kouyate, Van Aanholt; Townsend, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Eze; Benteke, Zaha
WBA - Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Townsend; Pereira, Maitland-Niles, Yokuslu, Gallagher, Phillips; Diagne
Odds
Palace - 39/29
Draw - 23/10
West Brom - 27/10
Prediction
Arguably a game West Brom must go all-out to win if they harbour any lingering ambitions of escaping the drop and Palace’s form is poor enough that the Baggies might just take the points. Palace 0-1 West Brom.
