West Brom and Southampton are both on impressive runs as they prepare to lock horns at The Hawthorns in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
West Brom won 3-1 at West Ham United on Saturday to extend their unbeaten streak to four matches, while Southampton thumped QPR 4-1 on the same day to make it five games without defeat.
With the Baggies fourth in the Championship table - four points behind leaders Middlesbrough - and the Saints just a one place and a point behind Tuesday's hosts, this promises to be an enthralling watch.

West Brom v Southampton Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score @ 10/11
Given the impressive form of both sides heading into this fixture, it is hard to pick a winner and the better play looks to be siding with there being plenty of goals.
Only two teams - West Ham (33) and Middlesbrough (30) - have scored more than the Saints (28) in the Championship and the attacking prowess of the south-coast outfit was on full display in the 4-1 win over QPR.
It is now seven goals in two matches for Southampton, who also overcame West Ham 3-2 at the London Stadium, and Tonda Eckert's side will fancy their chances of continuing their solid form in the final third against West Brom.
The Baggies are without a clean sheet in their last seven games and it is now three home fixtures without a shutout, having conceded against QPR, Birmingham and Blackburn at The Hawthorns.
But West Brom have also been in good scoring touch, netting nine times across their last four outings, and they can take advantage of a Southampton side that has kept just three clean sheets in the league.
Of Southampton's eight Championship wins, six have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, while that same bet has landed in West Brom's last three victories.
Alternative Bet: Kuryu Matsuki anytime goalscorer @ 15/4
Kuryu Matsuki has been in fantastic scoring form for Southampton over the last couple of weeks, with his goal in the win over QPR his third in his last four appearances.
The Japan international has netted four times in his last five starts and he is expected to retain his place in the XI for this contest, making him a solid shout to score again.
West Brom v Southampton Bet Builder Tip
Felix Myhre 1+ shots on target
Leo Scienza 1+ shots on target
Rabby Nzingoula 1+ fouls committed
Pays 8/1
West Brom midfielder Felix Myhre has had a shot on target in each of his last three appearances and he looks capable of testing visiting goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.
Leo Scienza has registered at least one shot on target in nine of his last 12 matches, with only teammate Cyle Larin (15) having more efforts on target for Southampton than the Brazilian (13).
Southampton's Rabby Nzingoula has committed at least one foul in three of his last four starts and that tally can be added to.
