West Brom host Burnley at The Hawthorns in a huge Championship clash in the race for promotion.
Victory would see West Brom climb to fourth, whilst Burnley will stay fourth if avoid defeat unless they win by three or more goals.

Stat Attack
- West Brom are winless in their last five meetings against Burnley (D3, L2).
- Burnley have won one of their last five visits to West Brom (W1, D2, L2).
- West Brom have kept clean sheets in three of their last five home games against Burnley.
- Carlos Corberan’s Baggies have failed to score in their last three home matches (D2, L1).
- Burnley have won one of their last four away matches (W1, D2, L1).
Prediction
Winless in seven but having grinded out draws in their last seven games, West Brom are a difficult team to beat even when not winning and that is a key weapon coming into this tricky clash where both teams have strong quality.
Burnley though are on a similar run in their last five but they were simply outclassed at a stubborn Millwall, so this is their chance to produce a reaction and quickly find their clinical edge again.
I however do feel that this is too close to call so am going for a draw.
Prediction: WBA 1-1 Burnley
Result: WBA 0-0 Burnley
