Adam Webster believes Albion can repeat the success they enjoyed in the second half of last season.

Defender Adam Webster believes Albion can enjoy a successful second half of the season similar to last year because of the togetherness in the squad and their belief in head coach Roberto De Zerbi. 

"We've got such a great team spirit, nothing like I have ever experienced in my career before," said the defender.

"That can take you so far as we've already seen this season, especially in Europe."

Albion could climb to sixth in the Premier League if they win at Luton Town on Tuesday and are still involved in two cup competitions, having sealed a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with Saturday's 5-2 victory over Sheffield United and with a Europa League last 16 tie to look forward to in March.

Pedro: Milner and Gross have made me better!

"We have had quite a lot of injuries this season with players having to play out of position but we're starting to get bodies back now," he added.

"We've won our group in the Europa League so we've got the knockout stages to look forward to.

"It's very tight in the league but if we can reproduce what we did last season in the second half of the season we can be right up there again like last season. We definitely have the belief in the group that we can do that, especially with important players available again. 

"And the manager is brilliant. You can see how animated and passionate he is. He is amazing to play under and we love him."
