Check out some of the key stats ahead of the Baggies' battle with Burnley at The Hawthorns in the Sky Bet Championship on Sunday lunchtime...
HEAD-TO-HEAD
There have been five draws in the last six meetings between West Bromwich Albion and Burnley, including all of the last three head-to-heads at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies haven't managed to beat Burnley in any of their last seven games against them, but have only lost twice in that run (D5). Albion's last victory over the Clarets was a 1-0 success at Turf Moor in the Premier League in August 2017. Hal Robson-Kanu scored the only goal of the game.
Sunday's clash will be the 138th between two of the founding members of the Football League. Albion have the slightly better record with 56 wins to the Clarets' 47. There have also been 34 draws.
The Baggies have lost just one of their last 15 home matches against Burnley in all competitions - a 2-1 setback in the Premier League in March 2018. It's a sequence which stretches back to 1969. Albion have won nine and drawn five of the other 14. The Clarets are, however, unbeaten at The Hawthorns since 2016 (W1, D3).
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Baggies boss James Morrison was one of the scorers the last time Albion beat Burnley at The Hawthorns back in November 2016. He scored the second on a night where Tony Pulis' men cruised to a 4-0 win. Matt Phillips, Darren Fletcher and Salomon Rondon were also on the scoresheet for the hosts.
Albion will be going in search of consecutive victories at the start of a Sky Bet Championship campaign for the second year running having won 2-1 at Norwich City on the opening day. The Baggies beat Blackburn Rovers and Wrexham in their first two second-tier fixtures of the 2025/26 term.
James Morrison will be defending his unbeaten managerial record at The Hawthorns this weekend. He's helped the Baggies pick up three wins and four draws in his seven previous matches in charge at the club's home stadium.
Albion have the chance to win three successive games in all competitions for the first time since a run of four straight wins between August and September in 2024.
BURNLEY
Burnley have won promotion to the Premier League in all of the last four seasons in which they've competed in the Championship. The Clarets secured the title in 2015/16 and 2022/23, and finished the 2013/14 and 2024/25 terms as runners-up.
No Sky Bet Championship player had more shots on the opening weekend of the season than Burnley's Zian Flemming. The Dutchman had nine attempts and scored two goals against West Ham United.
The Clarets are chasing their first win since February 11, 2026 - a 3-2 Premier League triumph at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. They've not won any of their last 15 matches in all competitions.
Burnley do, however, boast an incredible unbeaten run in the Sky Bet Championship. They've gone 34 second-tier fixtures without suffering a defeat, with the first of those coming at The Hawthorns when they drew 0-0 with the Baggies on November 7, 2024. The last team to beat the Clarets in the Championship were Millwall on November 3, 2024.
