Five West Brom fixtures on fans' radar
The fixtures are finally out and Albion fans are already booking their days off for the big games.
Nathan Judah takes a look at five fixtures that are attracting attention.
1) August 12 - Bournemouth (H)
Opening day is hugely popular with fans. So many expectations, new players, new kits.
The weather is (normally) great and Albion always start the season joint top of the Premier League, what's not to like?
Baggies fans will be delighted to get a home game and with all due respect to Bournemouth, a very winnable one.
Craig Dawson and Gareth McAuley helped Albion to a 2-1 win in the same fixture last season as Eddie Howe's men struggled to cope with the aerial bombardment.
Tony Pulis' men should be confident of a good start and three points.
2) September 9 - Brighton (A)
Everyone loves a new ground and they don't come much better than the beautiful Amex Stadium in Brighton.
The Seagulls are sure to make a long weekend of it as summer comes to a close.
Chris Hughton's men were magnificent last season, but face a big task to stay in the Premier League.
Currently the bookies second favourites for relegation. Albion will fancy their chances of a win on the road.
March 10, 1993 was the last time the two clubs met in the old Division 2, Brighton came away 3-1 winners on that occasion.

3) November 18 - Chelsea (H)
Hosting the Premier League champions is always a highly anticipated fixture.
This year will be no different as Antonio Conte brings his Chelsea squad to the Hawthorns.
It's almost certain to be a full house, but it remains to be seen if Diego Costa will be on the team bus.
The visitors will have happy memories of the Hawthorns as they secured the Premier League title following a 1-0 win.
Although Albion will be huge underdogs, they normally spring one or two big surprises so it might be worth a little bet for the value seekers.
4) November 25 - Spurs (A)
Albion are going to Wembley! This is not a drill.
It's been a long time coming, but unfortunately it won't be a cup final on this occasion.
Tony Pulis will face off against Mauricio Pochettino at the national stadium as Spurs' White Hart Lane gets redeveloped.
Fans are sure to flock to the nation's capital and will be hoping for Spurs' Wembley hoodoo to continue.
Albion were thumped 4-0 back in January, but did share the spoils with a 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns.
5) January 1 - West Ham (A)
This is sure to be another popular fixture as Albion will be looking to start 2018 with a bang.
Baggies took 3000 fans to the London Stadium and were unlucky to not come away with all three points in a 2-2 draw.
The game was marred with reported crowd trouble at the end of the match, but that shouldn't deter fans from making another trip to London.
Albion's poor finish to last season saw them finish level on points with the Hammers, but with a better goal difference.
Slaven Bilic's position as manger remains under review, but the East Londoner's will always be a tough test.
