    Manchester City would be a great move for Jonny Evans. There is a bit of Man United v Man City rivalry there but I see the point in what City are doing. They want someone reliable and someone who will be fit if Vincent Kompany gets injured.

    Will he stay or will he go?

    By the way, here's Baggies boss Tony Pulis on the Evans situation. Spot the well-worn cliche and slight contradictions.

    Take it away Tone:

    "They made an offer and we've turned it down.

    "I think every player is for sale at the right price (that's the cliche).

    "It would be crazy to say a team like West Brom won't sell (sort of cliche) if a team are going to put a huge amount of money in front of you.

    "Market forces dictate (lexicon showboating Tony) but we don't need to sell and we don't want to sell, so we are not desperate for the money.

    "Jonny is one of our best players and we'd love him to stay. It would need to be a very good offer. If that offer came in then we would sit down and talk to Jonny."

    So do you want to sell Evans or not?

    Burnley's XI are unchanged from the side that won 3-2 at Chelsea last week.

    West BromImage source, .

    West Brom remain without defender Jonny Evans, who has a hamstring injury. The Baggies recently rejected a £18m bid from Manchester City for the Northern Ireland centre-back.

    Midfielder Gareth Barry, 36, makes his debut for the visitors. He replaces Claudio Yacob.

    It's a blockbuster of a 'team news'. I might be lying.

    Move over Wally....Where's Ahmed?!!

    Following their 3-2 win AT Chelsea, for effort, Burnley probably think they deserve to sit at the top of the tree. Alas, you have to make do with sixth Clarets fans.

    But don't be so downhearted over the lowly position because you're back at home this week.

    Remember, "home"?

    The fortress that is Turf Moor. Forget all this "winning away" nonsense you got involved with last week. Pah!

    Your visitors are the buoyant Baggies, who sneaked a 1-0 win Bournemouth thanks to a goal from the early frontrunner for the hipster fantasy football player's favourite - Ahmed Hegazi (Hegazy).

    Another WBA defender Jonny Evans, the subject of a rejected £18m bid from Man City, is injured.

    How many players linked with moves must suffer?! The tension causes these injuries!

    Anyway... sit back, relax and enjoy the action.

    Not you Jonny, you might have another turn!
