ALAN PARDEW

may have pulled off the deal which makes the difference between West Brom staying up or going down.

If Daniel Sturridge can stay fit and plays anywhere near his best, his loan signing from Liverpool will be worth its weight in gold to Albion manager Pardew.

Today’s relegation battle with Southampton is huge and if Pardew can get the best out of Sturridge, Salomon Rondon and Jay Rodriguez, I think the Baggies have enough firepower to survive.
