If you are a fan of West Bromwich Albion, you may have noticed they were named in the December Championship Team of the Month. Apparently, they conceded only two goals in the month of December, which is a huge accomplishment. As you can imagine, fans will be excited to see who the award is going to in February.
West Brom conceded only two targets in December.
With the Premier League starting today, the defining two months of the season are just around the corner. After a disappointing start to the campaign, West Brom have turned things around. The Baggies have picked up five wins, a draw and a loss, which means they have finished with 26 points. And the club are now just seven points behind Newcastle United.
After a slow start to the campaign, Allardyce has been able to turn the team around. He's won two of his four games so far in April, and he's beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in March.
The former England manager brought in a host of players in January to help steer the team away from relegation. Matheus Pereira was a key player throughout the season and won the Fans' and Players' Player of the Season awards. After a good debut season, Connor Gallagher will also likely remain in the league.
Sam Johnstone played his part in a week when several notable injuries occurred. He made a number of crucial saves. For example, he blocked an Andre Ivan shot and turned a Marcos Alonso shot onto the crossbar.
Matt Phillips was also involved. The midfielder tipped the ball over the crossbar after cutting in from the left.

Premier League history
Premier League history has seen some amazing feats. The top five league clubs have a combined 125 titles. There have also been several seasons where no team has won the top flight.
In 1992/93, the first season of the English Premier League, 22 teams were competing. This included Newcastle United, who were automatically promoted. It was also the first season where television coverage was limited.
The Premier League has had some mediocrity, but there have been some great moments. For example, Manchester United won the title with a record tally of 90 points in 2008-09. They have also won the title six times, and there have been three other Premier League champions in the last 18 years.
Manchester City are currently the reigning champions. Despite a poor start to the season, they won 32 games and secured the title. Their success was largely attributed to the work of a few players.
Another notable feat was the amount of goals they scored. They finished with a +68 goal difference. Interestingly, they also had the highest total of goals conceded in the Premier League, with 45.
The most important tidbit is that Manchester City set a new record for most minutes leading a game. They achieved this feat with 2088 minutes.
