ALBION manager Graham Potter is wary of the threat that his side face when they take on West Ham.
The Hammers host Albion at the London Stadium on Wednesday night in the Premier League.
The London side have become one of the most dangerous sides from set-pieces since David Moyes returned to manage the club.
Moyes' team have scored 32 goals from set-piece situations since the Scot returned to the team in December 2019.
With players such Tomas Soucek, Michail Antonio, Issa Diop, Craig Dawson, Declan Rice and Kurt Zouma, the Hammers have a very big list of players to cross the ball to.
Potter told the Argus: "We have good players who are strong in defending the box situations.
"But clearly, West Ham have big players, and they are very good at set-pieces.
"They are very good at that area and are as good as anyone in the league.
"Regardless of that, they scored against Liverpool like that, and they have big players as well, so size is not necessarily everything, but it certainly helps."
Potter will have to rely on his defence of Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster to be the ones to deal with balls into the box.
Albion have not lost to West Ham since their promotion back to the Premier League, winning three and drawing the last five matches against the London side.
