West Brom talking points: Rolls-Royce Mepham and Jed Wallace still has a big part to play
West Brom made it three wins from the opening four league games with a thoroughly deserved win over Stoke.
Nat Phillips' first half goal was enough to hand Albion their latest victory - their second away win in the spin.
Jonny Drury looks at three key points to come from the game.
Mepham seamlessly slots in
There was no doubt that Ryan Mason was going to have to make changes - and he threw Chris Mepham in for a full debut just days after his arrival.
He came in at the heart of defence as George Campbell moved out to full back.
For Mepham, within the first few minutes of the game and certainly by the end of the first half, you could see how comfortable he looked alongside Nat Phillips.
Both commanding in the air, but both equally as comfortable with the ball. Mepham looks like an unflappable centre half at this level.
