West Brom captain Darren Fletcher: We can handle big game schedule

West Brom captain Darren Fletcher insists they're ready to climb the table after the international break.

The Baggies face Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City in their next three fixtures, before taking on reigning champions Leicester City.

“We have some tough games to play when we come back from the international break," he said. “It's been a solid start to our season but I think we could've had a few more points to our name. We are slightly disappointed not to be a few points better off, but at the same time, it's been a good solid start.

“Now we have some strong teams to play. Those bigger games have tended to suit us on a few occasions though in recent seasons.

“We rise to the challenge and we did very well in them last season. Hopefully we can do the same this time around."
