West Brom vs. Burnley Team News & Lineups

West Brom come into the fray after defeating Norwich City 2-1 in their first Championship match. Aune Heggebo is, however, unable to feature in Burnley’s match as he has been suspended from the FA for two games for his controversial handball goal against Norwich.

Burnley started their campaign with a 2-2 draw against West Ham United. Nicky Hayen’s team has been a lot different since the club was relegated from the Premier League, with new players bringing depth.
