West Bromwich Albion will host Burnley at the Hawthorns on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side enjoyed a bright start to their season but seem to have lost their way in recent weeks and are losing ground in the race for promotion as they sit sixth in the table with 21 points.
They played out a 1-1 draw against a wayward Luton Town side at the weekend, taking the lead just before the interval via a Josh Maja strike before their opponents leveled things up on the hour mark.
Burnley have also endured a disappointing run of results in recent games as their goalscoring blues continue. They suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Millwall in their last match, failing to register a single shot on target throughout the contest as they fell to their first defeat against the Lions in over a decade.

The Clarets now sit fourth in the table with 23 points and will be looking to get their promotion charge back on track with a win this week.
