The wait for a return to the Premier League could be over this season for West Brom with Slaven Bilic’s side currently sat in the automatic promotion spot in the Championship table, and the Baggies have had some memorable years in the top-flight.

One of their standout seasons was the 2016/17 campaign, where Tony Pulis lead West Brom to a 10th-placed finish in the Premier League, which is their second-highest in the English top-flight this century with the club bolstering the likes of Salomon Rondon, Ben Foster and Jonny Evans in their squad.
And a post from Baggies Analytics has brought back memories of that enjoyable and historic season, with the account posting a photo of the home kit for that campaign and asking supporters which West Brom player immediately comes to their head.
Here’s what some fans had to say about the post on Twitter…
Johnny Evans.. best centre half here since Wile & Robertson. Nice one Pulis

West Brom supporters will be hoping Bilic can lead the club back to the Premier League come to the end of this season, whenever this campaign ever comes to an end.
