Ryan Mason's West Brom are hunting down a 28 year-old record as they are set to welcome Portsmouth to The Hawthorns on Saturday.

Albion have enjoyed a superb start to their Championship season after another summer of change that saw Mason appointed as the head coach.

An opening day victory over Blackburn Rovers was followed up by a 3-2 victory over Wrexham last Saturday.

The victory leaves Albion point top of the Championship table with Pompey on Saturday.

And a victory over the Fratton Park side would put Albion into territory they have not been in for 28 years.

The last time Albion won their first three games of the season came back in the 1997/1998 campaign under Ray Hartford.

An opening day victory over Tranmere Rovers courtesy of goals from Kevin Kilbane and Andy Hunt was followed by a 3-2 win on the road at Crewe with Lee Hughes netting a brace.

And the best of the three victories arrived on August 24 as a Keith Curle own goal handed Albion a 1-0 victory over arch rivals Wolves.

Last week saw them win their first two league games for the first time since 2017 - and a win over Pompey could put Albion top of the Championship table.

Mason has insisted in recent interviews that there is still more work to be done to get Albion to where he wants to be - and the head coach has again been putting his side through their paces ahead of Saturday.
