Portsmouth boss Paul Hart says West Brom can take inspiration from Fulham's Great Escape last season.
Pompey face the Baggies this weekend and Hart said: "This time last year, Fulham were five points away from safety, had 24 points and got out.
"West Brom are in a similar position with seven games left so theoretically, they can still stay up. I wouldn't say that West Brom are already down and I would be foolish if I did.
"I think West Brom would be foolish if they thought they were as well.
"If West Brom win their next two games, they're on the way to safety and that's a fact."
