A disappointing Gameweek 12 stutters to its conclusion at the Hawthorns this evening as West Bromwich Albion entertain travel-sick Burnley.

The Baggies have mustered just a single clean sheet in five fixtures in front of their own supporters but will fancy their chances of improving that record, bearing in mind that Burnley have scored once in four road trips.

Sean Dyche’s side have shipped three goals on a trio of away occasions, heightening the hosts’ optimism for finding the net. With Nacer Chadli still unavailable, Salomon Rondon seems the likeliest source of attacking returns.

Chris Brunt is handed another chance to impress as an out of position prospect, with the Irishman set to start on the flank once again.

No side have conceded more attempts from set-pieces than Burnley this season, which suggests that Tom Heaton can expect an aerial assault from Gareth McAuley and co, with Brunt’s delivery a key weapon.

Burnley’s lack of bite on the road means that top scorer Sam Vokes faces a tough task of maintaining his fine form, having netted against Southampton, Everton and Palace in three of the previous four Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Why did I bench nyom, at least benching Heaton over pickford was The right call

    So it turns out getting 'lots of save points' actually means 'due a drubbing'.

      BTW Aguero's next game is against Burnely

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Burnley at home so different to this game

      2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Burnley at home are very different. Unfortunately. Not saying he won't score!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        SYD is there a danger of Burnley attempting to batton down the hatches for that match after conceding 4 today.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          They always batton down the hatches at home so the game against City will be no different. If City get an early goal it could get messy

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It's like getting around 35 in a normal week.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          So yeah, not great.

          1. Backup Dancer
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah seems to be a lot of ups and downs this season though. Don't panic.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

      Who would have thought by the 78th minute the commentators would be saying "WBA looking for goal number 5 "

    • Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Come on guys best replacement for Gundogan?

      5.6 budget

      Matic has 2nd most assists in the league is he an option?

      Or should I go with Snodgrass or Moses?

      Snodgrass seems obvious with being on set pieces but Hull are just so bad!

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        With all 7 of my attackers blanking and as an owner of 3 WBA defenders, this CS would mean quite a bit for me ! I'll take every point I can get - even a Nyom bap 😉

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yes, but hoping for a McAuley goal or gasping every time Brunt crosses the ball? Jeez...
