Pulis Escort

When Tony Pulis rescued Crystal Palace last season he did so my sorting out the defence and nicking a lot of games by the odd goal. Eight of the Eagles’ 12 wins after Pulis took over came by a 1-0 scoreline.

Now the 56-year-old is at the Hawthorns and West Brom are 5/1 (Bet365) to win his first home league game 1-0 on Saturday.

To make that outcome seem even more likely, visitors Hull have a tendency to lose in a similar manner. Steve Bruce had the anguish of seeing his side lose to a solitary strike four times during the course of November and December.

Everything points to a similar outcome here as the reigning Manager of the Year begins to work his magic all over again.
