Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: The Hawthorns

Match Preview:

At this point of the season you have to ask what else could go wrong for West Brom. They have had negative actions on and off the pitch and are massive odds on favourites to be relegated given that they are 10 points from safety with 7 games to play.

The club has picked up just 4 points from the last 30 available, losing 17 games this season and they have the worst home record in the league. That record reads as played 15, won 2, drawn 7 and lost 6. Currently they are scoring on average one goal a game in front of their home fans.

Burnley on the other hand have had a terrific season and are in 7^th place, a full 23 points above their hosts. Form has been good where they have gone the last 3 games without a loss. Beating West Ham 3-0 ended a 4 game winless streak away from home and the club will want to continue that form against the bottom club. In fact Burnley now have Arsenal in their sights being just 5 points behind the Gunners.
