West Bromwich Albion are back at The Hawthorns on Thursday night, hosting Burnley in the Sky Bet Championship (ko 8pm).
The Baggies drew 1-1 at Luton Town in their most recent match last Friday night, a result which extended their unbeaten run to five games, but also their winless run to seven.
Carlos Corberán's men will have their sights set securing a welcome victory and inflicting a second straight defeat on Burnley.
The Clarets, who are one of the title favourites, lost 1-0 at Millwall on Sunday afternoon and are now without a triumph in their last three fixtures.

The visitors
Burnley will be targeting a swift return to the top flight of English football following their relegation last term.
The Clarets have won promotion in all of the last three campaigns in which they've competed in the Championship, winning the title in 2015/16 and 2022/23, as well as coming second in 2013/14, and are one of the fancied teams to lift the trophy again this time around.
Thursday's guests will arrive at The Hawthorns sat on 23 points from their opening 13 matches, winning six, drawing five and losing just two.
One of those two defeats was against Millwall last Sunday afternoon, a result which means Burnley head to the West Midlands without a win in their last three and just one to their name in their last five, a sequence they'll be intent on addressing.
No team in the division have conceded fewer goals than the Clarets' six, but, like the Baggies, they've not been as prolific in front of goal as they would've liked to have been, failing to score in four of their last seven.
In Scott Parker though, Burnley have a boss who knows what it takes to guide a team to promotion to the top table of English football. The 44-year-old former Charlton, Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham, Spurs, Fulham and England midfielder was appointed in the summer following Vincent Kompany's departure to Bayern Munich.
He'll be hoping to make it a hat-trick of promotions this season with Burnley having taken both Fulham and AFC Bournemouth up in 2019/20 and 2021/22 respectively.

The stats

This will be the first time Albion have played a competitive game on a Thursday since a 2-0 triumph at home to Preston North End on December 29, 2022. Burnley's last Thursday fixture was on May 19, 2022 - a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
