West Brom have picked up 21 points from 13 EFL Championship matches this season. A dip off from their perfect start in recent weeks will be frustrating however they still sit in a playoff spot. However a win here will be needed.

This season they have only scored 14 goals so far. This is the joint fourth least in the division. However they have only conceded eight - the joint second least in the league. If they can score more and maintain their good defensive record they will surely fly up the table even more.

Burnley on the other hand are currently fourth in the league. This having picked up 23 points in 13 matches. However similarly to their opponents this weekend they have dipped off recently to the frustration of many Burnley fans.

The Clarets have scored 17 goals this season but where they are most impressive is at the back. They have only conceded six goals which is the joint least in the league. Can they continue that in this game against a strong West Brom side?

A win would potentially take them up to third place in the Championship so will be crucial if they are to make a push on the automatic places.
