Anxious Pulis rises at 5:30am every morning to plot West Brom survival

Tony Pulis admits the pressure of the Premier League is forcing him to wake up early every day.

The Welsh tactician has his West Bromwich Albion side sitting 13th on the table, eight points from the drop zone, but that has not stopped him working hard every day to ensure the safety of the West Midlands outfit.

"I wouldn't ask you come and sleep in my bed - but I'm worried enough to be up at 5.30 every morning," Pulis told reporters ahead of Tuesday night's clash with derby rivals Aston Villa.

"Then I'm straight into training and trying to sort things out. You can't take your eye off the ball."
