Match Preview:
West Brom
In a week where West Brom ended a miserable run of form which had seen them go their last five league matches without a win before routing Everton at Goodison Park last Saturday, a headline maker if ever we saw one, we are instead talking about the Baggies’ lethargic and starstruck performance during a midweek quarter-final clash with Championship side Ipswich Town, who were in dire form themselves, in the Carling Cup. It was a cold, bitter night at Portman Road, but that was no excuse for why West Brom, to put it simply, lost their cool and froze under the limelight. The defeat may have been by a single goal but it was a scoreline which heavily flattered the Baggies, who rarely threatened and got what they deserved in elimination from a competition which was certainly there to be won considering the majority of the big guns had already been eliminated.
We say it all the time nowadays, but because of the cut-throat nature of the Premier League, English football in general, there’s little time to dwell on missed opportunities. Although, few would envy being in Roberto Di Matteo’s shoes right now, the manager left with the task of somehow lifting his troops ahead of another mammoth league encounter – A fixture they’ve never ran out winners in whilst in the Premier League. That’s eight matches against the Magpies without picking up three points, but they’ll nevertheless fancy their chances after returning to winning ways in such rousing fashion.
In what was arguably the result of the entire weekend, West Brom left the Goodison faithful stunned with their high-tempo performance on Merseyside. Witin half-an-hour, the Baggies, who had failed to score in three of their last five league matches – also going the same period without winning either, were 2-0 up to the dismay of the punters sat at home. I’m sure many of you, like we were, were ripping up your acca’s in disgust at the sluggishnish at which Everton started proceedings. Equally, West Brom were lightening quick out of the blocks and it was this which startled the Toffees. Even a Tim Cahill lifeline before the half-time interval didn’t deter a Baggies team who were playing with the sort of confidence and swagger which once seen them go six matches without losing back in September and October. Then the hosts were reduced to ten men and while some may have rested on their laurels at 2-1 up and boasting a numerical advantage, West Brom instead went for the juggular, seized the initiative and went in for the kill. Come the final whistle they won with something to spare, and in an hugely impressive and encouraging manner, with the final score of 4-1 a fair reflection on a game where the Baggies shown far more attacking endeavour than their lacklustre hosts.
No win is ever in vein as no team in the Premier League can afford to turn their noses up at three points, simply because points nowadays are like gold dust and so damn difficult to earn. However, the manner in which they destoryed Everton on their own turf would count for little should they not continue in the same vein at home to a Newcastle side who are now without a win in the league for four matches. However, and while Sunday’s meeting should be the perfect opportunity to banish an abysmal record of having never beaten Newcastle in the Premier League considering just how impressive they were last time out, their credentials haven’t been boosted by back-to-back defeats at home to Man City and Stoke City, both without scoring, while the latter against Stoke was arguably their poorest team display of the entire campaign, even worse than their pathetic efforts in the Carling Cup in midweek.
If the Baggies can put their forgetable outing in the League Cup on Wednesday to the back of their minds and focus on all the positives which came out of their Everton drubbing, then there in with a shout of turning the form book on its head. However, the goals have dried up, with their stunning four-goal haul at Everton last week just the second occasion in their last five matches where Di Matteo had even seen his side conjure a goal. You would like to think the goals at Goodison will prove the catalyst for bigger and better things, rejuvenated and encouraged by their recent scoring exploits. Unfortunately they’ve been too disappointing in recent weeks for our liking and one shot in the pan result away to an Everton side lacking in confidence isn’t enough to suade us I’m afraid. Although, Roberto Di Matteo’s men are by no means a forlorn hope up against a Newcastle side who lost their last away fixture 5-1.
West Brom – Scott Carson, Gonzalo Jara, Paul Scharner, Gabriel Tamas, Marek Cech, Yousef Mulumbu, James Morrison, Jerome Thomas, Chris Brunt, Graham Dorrans, Peter Odemwingie.
Newcastle United
In the aftermath of hearing England lose out in the bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup in humilating fashion, Magpies manager Chris Hughton was quick to lament his disappointment at the decision which was made by FIFA. And as I’m so convieniently on the subject of disappointing subjects, the same man in question will have been furious with his side’s in their most recent away encounter, when on the wrong end of a Bolton drubbing at the Reebok. However, the response Hughton received from his players was second to none, with Newcastle frustrating former league leaders Chelsea at St James Park last Sunday as Newcastle’s topsy-turvy season continues to leave the supporters on their toes.
Deprived of regular centre-half’s Mike Williamson and Fabricio Coloccini for the second game running because of suspension, Newcastle are aiming to avoid suffering their first ever Premier League defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion this weekend having gone eight games without losing to the Baggies in the top-flight. However, the Magpies failed to beat West Brom home and away down in the Championship en route to clinching promotion last season and even though they will welcome back midfielder Joey Barton from a three-match suspension, it’s the Tyneside’s who arrive at Thw Hawthorns with the more vulnerable form having been smashed 5-1 in their most recent away league encounter at Bolton. Fortunately for Chris Hughton, his players bounced back in style be grounding out a thoroughly deserved point at home to Chelsea last weekend, with striker Andy Carroll adding to his tally with his ninth league goal of the campaign.
Newcastle’s discipline has been called into question in recent weeks. During the 5-1 drubbing they received away to Bolton in their last away match, Newcastle seen one of their players, Coloccini, sent off for a clear elbow on Trotters forward Johan Elmander, while the same forward was on the receiving end of a Mike Williamson headbutt. Both players in question were rightly handed three-match bans and even though the pair are unavailable, Newcastle’s temperment may well come under scrutiny once again away to West Brom on Sunday against an opponent who have received five red cards this season. Add in the midfield duo of Joey Barton and Cheik Tiote, with the former set to make his return to the first-team after serving a three-match ban while the latter has collected six cautions in his last seven league appearances, and Chris Hughton may have a stiff task on his hands just keeping his players in line, let alone plotting a successful outcome at Thw Hawthorns.
Should the Magpies keep their cool for once, the evidence is there to suggest they’re more than capable of registering their sixth league win of the season on Sunday, not least because their record against the Baggies is so impressive. On their previous two top-flight visits to The Hawthorns, Newcastle have left triumphant on both occasions. But then, a lot has changed since Newcastle were regularly doing numbers on the Baggies, with their squad not as potent as it once was. With that said, there have been a number of outstanding performers in the Newcastle ranks this season, none more so than captain Kevin Nolan, who has seven league goals to his name, and lanky forward Andy Carroll, who has an impressive nine to his. Between them, Nolan and Carroll have been Newcastle’s not so secret weapon this season, with either one or the other having scored in six of the team’s last seven league fixtures. In simpler terms, stop these two from playing and the task should be simple. But how do you stop someone as awkward as Andy Carroll, with his aerial prowess making him a defender’s worst nightmare.
Because Hughton is without Williamson and Coloccini, Newcastle will start with Steven Taylor and Sol Campbell at centre-half for the second match running. The two did reasonbly well against Chelsea last weekend at St James’, albeit against a side no longer at the pinnacle of their form right now, and as bizarre as it sounds will probably be in for a more testing 90 minutes up against West Brom’s attacking duo of Peter Odemwingie and Cameron Jerome. Meanwhile Joe Barton could oust Danny Guthrie from the heart of the Magpie midfield as the controversial midfielder returns from a suspension for his unprovoked punch on Blackburn midfielder Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Newcastle – Tim Krul, Danny Simpson, Steven Taylor, Sol Campbell, Jose Enrique, Wayne Routledge, Joey Barton, Cheick Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez, Shola Ameobi, Andy Carroll.
