West Bromwich Albion

West Brom are the only side yet to score in the final 30 minutes of Premier League games this season, with their latest goal coming after 47 minutes (Matheus Pereira vs Everton).

Meanwhile, they’ve shipped a league-high seven goals in the final half-hour so far this term.

Pace up front might have been a good road to go down for Burnley tonight, considering Branislav Ivanovic was slower than erosion by the time he left Chelsea. I doubt he's sped up much in the nearly four years since.

Commanding in the air - sure.

Jonnie Walker: Would have preferred to see Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez start - much more movement than the Ashley Barnes/Chris Wood combo.

Tom Whittaker: Think Wood is our best striker to be fair but I like him with Rodriguez for that reason.

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic: "They [Burnley] have zero points, they are not in a good situation, but they have a know-how. They are not panicking with the situation - they are not happy, but they are not panicking.

"They have a know-how, they have a great manager who never gives up. He is a proper man.

"They may not have the points, but they will arrive as a confident team who know what they have to do."

Burnley have lost all three of their league games and these are worrying times. They don't appear to have enough strength in depth in their squad.

West Brom have at least got a point on the board but I have a feeling Sean Dyche's side will dig in to make things difficult for the Baggies, and they could nick their first win. They need it.

Prediction: 0-1

• Burnley are on a club record run of four successive Premier League defeats, including their final game of last season. They last lost five in a row in the top flight in January 1976.
• The Clarets could lose their opening four games of a top-flight season for the first time since 1927-28.

I'm not going to go in to the pros and cons of this pay-per-view scheme but I've no idea why this game couldn't have been played at 3pm on Saturday as planned.

Anyway, it is what it is as they say. These two teams have a combined one point between them in the league so far so it's fair to say a win would be very welcome indeed for both clubs.

It's been a tough, pointless start to the season for the Clarets but Sean Dyche is confident the worst is behind them now.

"I'd like to think we've got a group who are coming back together, a mentality that is definitely intact, a focus that is there," he said.

"They know the challenge. We've got a group now that have become more experienced because of the years of playing in the Premier League. We know the challenges, we know you can have tough spells in the Premier League."

"Ideally, you get points on the board early, it's just a sort of safety net and everyone feels right about themselves.

"But we've had tough starts before and come through it. So that is the task: to come through a tough start, settle things down and deliver good performances."

West Brom manager Slaven Bilic has made six changes from the 2-0 defeat to Southampton in their last Premier League outing.

In come Darnell Furlong, Filip Krovinovic, Conor Gallagher and Ahmed Hegazi.

There is also a first start for three-time Premier League winner Branislav Ivanovic, formerly of Chelsea, who hasn't appeared in the competition since December 2016.

New £15m signing Karlan Grant makes his debut up front.
