West Brom winger Chris Brunt says it's crucial to begin the Premiership season with a win.

"It will be interesting to see where we're playing and when," he told the Birmingham Mail. "The opening day is the one fixture everyone looks for.

"After that it will be nice to look for the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal on the list rather than Championship sides.

"It's something to look forward to.

"I'd just like to be at home on the opening day of the season because our home form is generally quite good.

"And three points would certainly kick-start our season."
