Pulis urges in-form Baggies to keep feet on the ground

Tony Pulis’ West Brom side are seeking their fifth home win on the bounce as they host Crystal Palace on Saturday.

But Pulis has urged his players to ensure they produce a winning performance ahead of a daunting run of fixtures against the league’s top sides.

Albion have not lost to a team outside the current top seven, a run that stretches back 16 games to September and has helped Pulis’ side reach 40 points already this season.

“Half of the games remaining are against the top six or seven teams so we know there’s going to be a run of games that we’re going to struggle to get anything out of,” said Pulis.

“That’s coming so I’ll keep my feet on the ground and make sure the players will as well.”

And their good form has meant selection headaches aplenty for Pulis, who is enjoying the number of his squad who are putting their hands up with good performances.

“It’s fantastic to have that problem,” he said.

“The last couple of weeks have been the only time since I’ve been here that I’ve been leaving people out who should be in the team because others have played so well to keep them out. It’s brilliant.”
