Latics and West Brom have met 24 times down the years, with us just having the better of things with 10 wins and 5 draws, 9 defeats.
The first meeting came on the 25th September 1984, a 2nd round League Cup game, the first leg coming at Springfield Park, a goalless draw against top flight opposition for 3rd tier Latics was a good result, unfortunately we went down 3:1 in the second leg at the Hawthorns 2 weeks later, Colin Methven getting the consolation goal.
The last meeting was a Championship clash at the Hawthorns on the 29th February 2020, Latics winning the game 0:1 courtesy of a Sam Morsy strike on 73 minutes. This was the last away game played in front of spectators until we went to Sunderland on the opening game of the 2021722 season.
