Comments:

League position: 16th West Ham United were now unbeaten in their last six games in the Premier League (won three). Andy Carroll had now scored eight goals in his last eight starts in the Premier League in the month of January. The Hammers had now scored ten goals in their last four games in the Premier League; as many as in their preceding 12 games in the competition.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion were now without a win in their last 20 games in the Premier League; the longest such run in the competition since Derby County in 2007-08 (32 games). With James McClean's opener, the Baggies took the lead in a game for the first time under recently appointed manager Alan Pardew (played eight, all Premier League). Albion had now scored eight goals in their last 13 away games in the Premier League games and had not scored more than one goal in an away game in the competition since their 2-2 draw at Burnley on 6 May 2017. Matt Phillips was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Jake Livermore was promoted to the starting XI with Gareth Barry taking his place on the bench.
