Reeling club West Bromwich Albion FC (2-3-4, 10 points) and current league leaders Manchester City (6-1-2, 20 points) will both try to get back to their winning form as the two teams square off in a 2016-2017 Premier League season encounter on Oct. 29, Saturday at the Hawthorns.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
West Brom is currently at the 13th spot of the English top flight table as the team is on a four-game winless spell. The team has been winless in five of their last six outings, which includes three straight drawn matches.
The Baggies are coming off a sorry 1-2 defeat in the hands of streaking team Liverpool on the road at the Anfield last Saturday to continue their descent in the standings, the Mirror reported.
Senegalese forward Sadio Mane and Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho scored a goal each for the Reds in the 20th and 35th minute of the match to give the hosts a 2-0 lead early in the first half.
Head coach Tony Pulis' squad tried to fight back, but their attacks were successfully fended off by Liverpool's stingy defense.
Finally, West Brom was able to put themselves on the board with a smashing strike from Baggies defender Gareth McAuley with only nine minutes remaining before full-time. The team failed to score the equalizer as time ran out.
Meanwhile, Manchester City continued its winless slide as well, settling for a 1-1 tie with Southampton at their own home ground of Etihad Stadium last Sunday, as per Daily Mail Online.
Southampton forward Nathan Redmond broke the deadlock in the 27th minute to threaten City to a second loss in three games. However, head coach Pep Guardiola's side managed to level the count in the 55th with a goal from substitute striker Kelechi Iheanacho to salvage the draw.
City has been winless in their last three games and will be looking to snap out of it in this game versus West Brom.
