But seventh place is a solid start to the season as De Zerbi’s men juggle the demands of Premier League and Europa League football. Injuries to key players throughout the campaign have also impacted team selection, while new players have bedded-in to replace the departure of star players Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo. It has been a challenging period but overall Albion are in a good position to progress from their Europa League group and also look set to challenge for a top six position once again this term.
