West Brom are flying at the moment with Slaven Bilic’s men sitting four points clear at the top of the Championship table having won 16 points out of the last 18 available.

Albion have waved goodbye to their January blues since the transfer window closed with new signing Callum Robinson making a huge impact in the attack.

West Brom hadn’t won a league game without Grady Diangana since he arrived on loan at The Hawthorns from West Ham but Robinson, 25, has had a game-changing impact, scoring two goals and assisting one in his six unbeaten appearances.

Up next for West Brom is a home clash against relegation-threatened Wigan.

However this match could be a lot more testing for the Baggies than many might think.

Wigan are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning eight out of the 12 available points and could move out of the Championship’s relegation zone this weekend if results go their way.

The Latics also have a decent record against West Brom.

Albion have won just two of their last nine league meetings with the Lancashire club with their clash at the DW Stadium earlier this season ending as a 1-1 draw.

Bilic made a host of changes to his starting line-up for that match, which preceded the club’s dreadful run of form throughout December and January.

Albion won one of the eight Championship matches that followed that stalemate and now Bilic has settled on a regular starting line-up it is hard to see him repeating the mistake he made away at Wigan.

But still, the Latics are a team that can cause West Brom issues.

They have the carrot of moving out of the bottom three being dangled in front of them this weekend while the Baggies have less pressure on them knowing that no matter the result, they’ll stay top of the table.

Complacency cannot become a thing when the clock strikes 3 on Saturday.
