The Verdict

When you consider that West Brom are set to face a Fulham side who are also looking to launch a push for promotion this season, they clearly needed to secure a morale-boosting victory heading into this clash.

Therefore, last weekend's triumph over the Robins may have provided the Baggies with the confidence that they need to pick up a positive result against the Cottagers.

Furlong will be tasked with providing creativity as well as some defensive support from his wing-back role on Saturday.

Particularly impressive against Nigel Pearson's side, the 25-year-old managed to record a WhoScored match rating of 8.42 in this clash as he won three aerial duels and created two goals for his team-mates.

By replicating this display in the club's meeting with Fulham, Furlong may be able to help his side seal all three points at Craven Cottage.
