The relationship between West Brom boss Tony Mowbray and chairman Jeremy Peace is being tested over their poor start to the season.

The Mirror says promoted Albion prop up the table with just one point from three games ahead of West Ham's visit tomorrow. Relations between Mowbray and Peace are becoming increasingly fraught. Peace fell out spectacularly with Gary Megson in 2004 before sacking successor Bryan Robson.

Mowbray has told pals he tries to have as little as possible to do with Peace despite both being based at Albion's training ground.
