THE PREDICTION
The potential loss of Robinson and Robson-Kanu will really hurt West Brom and undoubtedly makes winning the game considerably harder, but they aren't exactly up against the robust and defensive Burnley sides we’ve been accustomed to over the years. Averaging 2.7 goals conceded per game thus far, expect to see the flair, pace and skill from Diangana and Matheus Pereira cause the leaky Burnley defence some problems, especially with Diangana one on one with the veteran Bardsley. The outcome is a tough one to call but West Brom are due a win and Bilic’s men will feel they can earn some much-needed points against a deflated Burnley side.
