If one result might kick West Brom into some high-flying, season-saving mania it is walloping Chelsea 5-2. Ignore Thiago Silva’s red card and focus on the task at hand – stacking up wins, starting with Southampton. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side may have picked up a win of their own against Burnley but showed the brittleness that has plagued them all campaign by quickly going 2-0 down. The flipside, of course, was the marvellous comeback spearheaded by the returning Theo Walcott and Danny Ings. The pair could profit in the second half once again should Sam Allardyce resort to throwing the kitchen sink at a vital set of three points. Graham Searles
