8. One - The Magpies Have Only Lost One Of Their Last 10 Home Matches Against The Baggies
Finally - a positive stat for Newcastle! Well okay so we're clutching at straws here, but the Magpies have lost just one of their last 10 matches against West Brom at St James' Park in all competitions. That defeat came back in December 2011, when Peter Odemwingie, Gareth McAuley and Paul Scharner gave the Baggies a 3-2 victory - despite a heroic brace from Demba Ba. The last two meetings between the sides on Tyneside have seen Newcastle emerge as winners - with the scoreline 2-1 on both occasions. In November 2013, the most-recent meeting, Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko gave the Magpies the victory, with Chris Brunt scoring for the visitors. Newcastle need history to be on their side...
