Recommended bet: Burnley to win, Zian Flemming to score and both teams to score @ 7/1 with LiveScore Bet
In an effort to banish last season's troubles, West Brom have got their Championship campaign off to the perfect start thanks to a 2-1 win at Norwich.
The result was controversial though as Aune Heggebo diverted a cross into the opposition goal with his arm for the Baggies' opener, not penalised at the time but he has been subsequently suspended.
Burnley salvaged a point in their opener against Championship favourites West Ham, recovering from 2-0 down with two late goals, something which should give the club a confidence boost going forward.
Team news
Due to ‘successfully deceiving’ the match officials, Heggebo has been suspended for two games, which means summer signing Barry Stewart is likely to come into the starting XI for the Baggies.
Tammer Bany is also out of this match with a hamstring problem, while Ousmane Diakite faces a late fitness test after picking up a slight issue against the Canaries.
Josh Cullen is the only confirmed absentee for Burnley, although Connor Roberts is a doubt for the game.

The stats
Five of the last six meetings between these two sides have ended in draws, with Burnley victorious in the other match in that run.
The Baggies have not beaten Burnley in the last seven meetings, five of which have been draws, with their last win a 1-0 success at Turf Moor in August 2017.
West Brom have won both of their two games this season so far, while Burnley have drawn both games, progressing in the Carabo Cup thanks to a penalty shootout win over Notts County.
Zian Flemming scored 11 Premier League goals for Burnley in 29 appearances last season, while he has started this season well by scoring all three Burnley goals in their opening two games.
Three of the last four meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the back of the net.

Prediction
James Morrison has got off to a brilliant start with the Baggies this season and hopes will be high that another positive display will be on show this weekend.
Burnley looked down and out against West Ham after 80 minutes last week, but Zian Flemming came to their rescue. He scored from the spot in the 84th minute to make it 2-1, before rescuing a point in stoppage time.
If the Clarets start off better, then there is no doubt Hayen and his men can secure three points at the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.
Burnley certainly have a man in form up front but West Brom have made a positive start to the season and have home advantage so can at least make a game of it.
