West Brom confirm starting XI for Championship clash v Burnley
West Brom have announced their starting XI for their Championship fixture against Burnley.
The Baggies are coming into this match off the back of a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on Tuesday.
Announced on Twitter, West Brom named a strong lineup to face the Burnley side with the likes of Taylor Gardner-Hickman starting and Brandon Thomas-Asante coming onto the bench.
Big night
West Brom entered the season hoping to have a better campaign than the last time around where they failed in their bid to get promoted.
However, the start of this season has been nothing short of disappointment as the Baggies have only managed to register eight out of the possible 21 points, leaving them already six behind table-toppers Sheffield United.
Therefore, it is now becoming a case of winning at all cost for Steve Bruce in particular as some more poor results might end his reign at The Hawthorns just months after he joined the club in February earlier this year.
Looking at the historical record of meetings between the sides will give West Brom fans some hope as their team have a more than decent record where they have defeated the Clarets 20 times in 60 matches across all competitions while suffering 21 defeats whereas 19 matches ended in a stalemate [Transfermarkt].
