After a poor first post-war season (by their pre-war standards),
Arsenal tightened up their defence and suddenly became almost
unstoppable again. Freddie Pye's goal for Wolves was the first
conceded by the Gunners in seven games, but they were without both of
their regular full-backs. Arsenal remained undefeated for the first 17
games.

A great start by West Brom saw them open up a three-point lead at the

were to last the course much better than Albion.
