The Baggies re-established their four-point cushion inside the top six with all three points, and head into their crunch weekend clash with Hull City on a high after a rare win on the road.
Strikes from Cedric Kipre, Mikey Johnston and Tom Fellows helped secure Albion’s first away victory since December, and West Brom are now looking a dangerous side as the squad possesses strong depth, with a number of key players returning to the first-team fold in recent weeks.
Albion had a boost as they welcomed back duo Semi Ajayi and Grady Diangana from African Cup of Nations duty. The latter helped Congo to a fourth placed finish, while Ajayi featured heavily as Nigeria were beaten in the final by the Ivory Coast.
Adam Reach also made his return against Cardiff City at the beginning of February after recovering from an ankle injury sustained at Norwich City and is always an effective utility player to have in the squad over the course of the campaign.
Despite currently being sidelined by a number of issues, Kyle Bartley, Matt Phillips and Josh Maja are all expected to play some part of the remainder of the season, further bolstering Corberan’s options and adding much-needed competition for places as the race for the top six heats up.
