Burnley v West Brom

Burnley vs West Brom Preview

Burnley collected a third league win on the trot over the weekend in the Championship to keep The Clarets in touch with the top two clubs in the division thanks to a comprehensive 4-0 home win against Luton Town, and the Lancashire hosts could actually move top of the table with all three points against West Brom on Tuesday night.

West Brom extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to four games overall with a 1-0 home win against QPR on Saturday to help keep The Baggies in contention for a place in the play-offs, but the west midlands club face a tough trip ahead of them on Tuesday night at Turf Moor.

Burnley's unbeaten sequence in the English second tier was stretched to an amazing 23 games on Saturday with that crushing win over Luton Town which consists of 14 victories along with being involved in nine stalemates as well, along with a staggering total of 19 clean sheets under their belts within this period.

The Clarets have now won their last four home games on the trot as well as keeping seven straight clean sheets, so Scott Parker's side certainly look to be well placed to grab another three points at Turf Moor on Tuesday night.

West Brom have picked up recent wins against Oxford United and QPR respectively along with picking up useful points by way of draws with Millwall and Leeds United but The Baggies will more than likely need to become only the fifth team this season to score against Burnley at Turf Moor if they are to get anything out of this upcoming encounter.

Recent losses at the hands of Middlesbrough and Plymouth Argyle were dealt out to Tony Mowbray's side on their travels along with being handed a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to one of Mowbray's former clubs, Blackburn Rovers.

The west midlands visitors continue to do just about enough to remain in the play-off pack but overall, The Baggies have produced a mixed bag of results in recent months which has prevented Tony Mowbray's side from cementing their place in the top six.

Along with Preston NE, West Brom have become the ‘draw specialists' in the Championship with no fewer than 16 stalemates apiece within their total of 36 matches played to date this term, but wins away from home continue to elude the west midlands club.

Indeed, West Brom have managed to pick up just one win from their previous 15 outings on the road and their lack of cutting edge up front may ultimately cost them at Turf Moor on Tuesday night.
