West Bromwich Albion v Burnley Prediction
West Bromwich Albion preview – Jimmy-Jay Morgan’s soft shot shuffle and daisycutter finish secured their winning goal in the 2-1 away day cruise at Norwich City. Also, Albion hope to sign Manchester United midfield man Toby Collyer on a permanent basis.
Burnley preview – Sunday’s 2-2 home draw against West Ham United felt like a victory because Zian Flemming supplied two late goals for Burnley on 83 minutes (penalty) and 92 minutes to dramatically wipe out a 2-0 deficit. Since then, Burnley entered the race to sign Bosnian defender Anel Ahmedhodzic from Feyenoord.
- Score prediction: Clarets in control 1-0.
