Brunt seeking West Brom home double

West Bromwich Albion skipper Chris Brunt feels they can ease the pressure with back-to-back home games.

Brunt admits Saturday's lunchtime home game against Arsenal and the meeting with West Ham three days later are potentially pivotal, following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.

He said: "It's important that we take the positives out of Chelsea. The atmosphere in the dressing room wasn't too deflated. We lost but we know we've got a lot to take from it.

"It's a big game against Arsenal followed very closely by another one against West Ham.

"Our home form hasn't been great this season so we have two games that give us a chance to improve that. Arsenal will be favourites to win but we will be prepared for them.

"Two home games in three or four days is a chance for us to improve that record and that's what we'll be looking to do."
