The Baggies beat Leeds 4-1 in their last game.

West Brom boss Darren Moore wants his side to approach Friday night's trip to bottom club Ipswich with the same ruthlessness which helped them beat promotion-rivals Leeds.

The Baggies head to Suffolk for the televised encounter looking to pick up from where they left off ahead of the international break when inflicting a 4-1 defeat on Marcelo Bielsa's men.

Moore, though, warned against any sense of complacency as they aim to leave the Tractor Boys stuck at the foot of the table and hand new boss Paul Lambert a first defeat.

"It was a good performance in the last game, but it's one not to rest on," Moore said at a press conference reported by the club.

"We have got another important game and we are looking to continue the form that we have shown.

"When you've got near to a full-strength squad it helps to implement ideas. You're able to build shapes, formations, understanding.

"Having a clear week helps create dynamics to the play you want to take into the coming period."

Moore is hoping the Baggies can quickly hit their stride again as domestic action resumes.

"You never want to come off a break and hit bad form," said Moore, whose side ended a four-match winless run with their impressive performance against Leeds.

"We hit a slight dip in form, but we have been working extremely hard to play at our full potential.

"We have to keep that belief, energy and that style of play going to make sure that bad run doesn't happen again."

Ipswich boss Lambert will be hoping his side can build on back-to-back draws since he took over following Paul Hirst's dismissal.

"This is a different game from what it would have been a couple of weeks ago, that is for sure," Lambert said.

"We'll be ready for it and are looking forward to it. We are playing with a lot of confidence at the minute, a lot of momentum.

"We certainly don't look like a team at the bottom of the table."
