West Bromwich Albion host Burnley at The Hawthorns in the Championship, with both clubs carrying early-season momentum into what shapes up as a genuinely competitive second-tier fixture.
James Morrison's West Brom have made a sharp start to the campaign. The Baggies won their Championship opener against Norwich City on August 15, continuing a run of form that stretches back through pre-season, and they arrive at this fixture sitting third in the table.
Burnley head to West Bromwich having drawn 2-2 with West Ham United on the opening weekend. Nicky Hayen's side are still building after a turbulent summer that included a shirt sponsorship saga and a busy transfer window, but they showed enough against the Hammers to suggest they will be competitive in this division.
The Clarets have added real quality to their squad in recent weeks. Manchester City centre-back Max Alleyne joined on a season-long loan, Chelsea teenager Dastan Satpayev arrived at Turf Moor, and defender Anel Ahmedhodzic has since completed a £7 million move from Feyenoord, giving Hayen considerably more depth to work with.
West Brom will be eager to protect home advantage. The Hawthorns has the potential to be a fortress this season, and Morrison's team have the goal threat to test any defence in this league.
Burnley will want to climb the table quickly. A win away from home against a side in the top three would send an early message about their promotion credentials.

Form
West Brom arrive with five wins from their last five matches across all competitions. Morrison's side beat Norwich City 2-1 away in the Championship on August 15, their first league outing of the season. Before that, they won 4-1 against Rotherham United in the Carabao Cup and recorded three pre-season victories, including a 4-0 win over Shrewsbury Town and a 4-1 defeat of Bromley. West Brom scored 15 goals across those five fixtures and conceded just three, a run that reflects both their attacking output and defensive solidity.
Burnley's last five results show one win, one draw, and three defeats. Their most recent match ended 2-2 against West Ham United in the Championship on August 16. They beat Notts County in the Carabao Cup on August 8, though that result was recorded as a 1-1 draw decided on penalties. Prior to that, Burnley lost to Torino 1-0 and to Ajax 2-1 in pre-season friendlies, and drew 2-2 with Espanyol. Hayen's side have shown they can score goals but have conceded in each of their last five outings.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these clubs came on March 11, 2025, when Burnley and West Brom drew 1-1 at Turf Moor in the Championship. Before that, the sides played out a goalless draw at The Hawthorns in November 2024. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, which include four Championship meetings and one Premier League encounter, neither side has managed to dominate, with two draws, two Burnley wins and one West Brom win recorded.
