Any Previous? Latics v West Brom

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.

Latics – Marshall; Byrne, Balogun (Naismith), Kipre, Pearce; Williams, Morsy; Lowe, Roberts (Evans), Massey (Jacobs); Moore

On The Road
