Burnley v West Brom: match preview

Burnley v West Brom
Burnley v West Brom: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Burnley will hope to continue their vital knack of avoiding defeat against relegation rivals with another positive showing when West Brom come to town. Sam Allardyce’s side showed signs of life against Manchester United but will have to find further improvement to break down Burnley’s impressive defensive unit. West Brom’s need to attack could play right into Sean Dyche’s hands as they sit and try to hit their vulnerable opponents on the break. The pressure is mounting on Allardyce, who has picked up two points in six matches since beating Wolves in January. Graham Searles
