History of the West Bromwich Albion v Fulham fixture

Fulham pack their bags to visit West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 9 of the 37 games.

The previous match played between the two at The Hawthorns was within the last three years, in December 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
