A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted Albion's final place in the Premier League table.
Graham Potter's team are currently sitting ninth in the Premier League standings with an impressive 20 points from the opening 15 matches.
Albion, however, have not won a game in their last ten outings, drawing eight of the games and losing two. This run has included impressive results against Liverpool and Arsenal.
Potter's side have also shown terrific bottle as they have saved themselves from defeat in their last two games away at Champions League contending West Ham and Ralph Hasenhuttl's Southampton.
What makes this run seem more positive is that the club have achieved it despite an ever-increasing injury list, which includes the likes of Lewis Dunk, Danny Welbeck, Steven Alzate, Adam Lallana, Adam Webster and Jeremy Sarmiento.
In terms of their predicted finish for the season, Albion are expected to finish eighth in the Premier League based on the latest predictions by the supercomputer at the American website fivethirtyeight.
Albion are predicted to earn a respectable 52 points across the season, although would just miss out on qualifying for the Europa Conference League, which is awarded to seventh place.
This finish, however, would be the club's best in the Premier League since their promotion to the top division.
Albion would also finish five spots and six points ahead of rivals Crystal Palace.
