Burnley v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

A first away win of the season at Crystal Palace brought Burnley to the verge of guaranteed survival and in truth it would take quite a turn of events for them to be endangered now. One more point would take them to the vaunted 40 mark and they should fancy their chances of gaining at least that against a West Bromwich Albion side that, with four consecutive defeats and five games without a goal, has tailed off dramatically. Six places and five points separate the sides but it is not entirely fanciful to imagine Burnley making that ground up over the final few games. Nick Ames
