Bournemouth is still winless after three rounds in the new English top flight season following losses in its first two games to Manchester United and West Ham.
Their most recent game ended in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on the road at the Selhurst Park on Aug. 27 as the team finally earned a point in the overall standings, as per ESPN.
Norwegian winger Joshua King netted the opening goal of the contest at the 11th minute as head coach Eddie Howe's boys started the game aggressively on both ends.
The Cherries looked headed to their first win of the season as Palace was not able to find the equalizer at the stroke of full time. However, the Eagles did equalize the match with a late goal from team captain Scott Dann in injury time to force the draw and a share of a point in the overall standings.
Meanwhile, West Brom had been inconsistent in their first three games this term as the squad had been winless in the past two rounds after winning their season-opener against Palace.
The Baggies settled to a 0-0 tie with newly-promoted club Middlesbrough at the Hawthorns on Aug. 28 before the team embarked on the international break, Daily Mail Online reported.
Head coach Tony Pulis' side came close to breaking the deadlock in the first half with attempts from winger James McClean and striker Salomón Rondón, but McClean's shot was blocked by Boro keeper Brad Guzan while Rondón's strike was wide off the goal.
Even the entrance of disgruntled forward Saido Berahino in the second half was not enough to deal the Smoggies what would have been their first defeat in the English top flight.
West Brom is expected to improve their performance in this road game against struggling Bournemouth.
