Burnley vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
The Clarets have won their last three league games, scoring 10 goals while conceding just once. They are on a four-game winning streak at home in the Championship while keeping clean sheets. They have lost just one of their last nine home meetings against the visitors since 2004, and are strong favorites.
Jonjo Shelvey has been injured since a knock in the FA Cup loss against Preston North End and faces a significant spell on the sidelines. Enock Agyei has picked up another injury while Bashir Humphreys, Jordan Beyer, Aaron Ramsey, and Mike Tresor remain unavailable due to injuries.
The Baggies have been in good touch recently, losing just one of their last six games while recording three wins. Interestingly, they have won just one of their last 15 Championship away games, which is a cause for concern.
Josh Maja is a long-term absentee for the visitors while captain Jed Wallace will miss this match with a calf issue. Darnell Furlong will serve a suspension here while Semi Ajayi is a doubt. Mason Holgate is likely to start in place of the suspended Furlong.
The Clarets have an impressive unbeaten home record this season and, considering their defensive form, we back them to register a comfortable win while keeping a clean sheet.
