West Brom host Burnley at The Hawthorns on Sunday lunchtime as two sides who made positive starts to the Championship campaign meet in the second round of fixtures.
The Baggies opened with a 2-1 victory at Norwich City, while Burnley fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with West Ham on their return to the Championship.
The Clarets ended their 2024-25 promotion campaign on a 33-match unbeaten run, so have now gone 34 Championship matches without defeat.
Both teams have plenty of attacking quality and found the net in their opening fixtures, but there is little to separate the sides ahead of this meeting.
Five of the last six meetings between West Brom and Burnley have ended in draws, while the Clarets have gone seven games unbeaten in this fixture.

West Brom v Burnley Prediction
Best Bet: Draw @ 23/10
There is little to separate these sides and the draw looks worth backing.
Five of the last six meetings between these two sides have ended all square, while the Clarets have gone seven games unbeaten against the Baggies.
Albion made an impressive start with a 2-1 victory at Norwich, but Burnley showed plenty of character to recover from 2-0 down against West Ham and claim a point.
Burnley went unbeaten in their final 16 Championship away matches during their promotion campaign in 2024/25, winning 11 and drawing five, while West Brom have lost only one of their last 13 league games.
Both sides should have enough quality to cause problems, but their recent records suggest another closely fought contest could end level.
Alternative Bet: Both teams to score - Yes @ 4/5
Both teams to score has landed in five of Burnley's last six competitive matches and another game featuring goals at both ends looks likely at The Hawthorns.
West Brom scored twice in their victory at Norwich, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan netting one and assisting another.
Morgan will have an even greater role to play after the news that Aune Heggebo is unavailable following his retrospective two-match ban for the handball that led to his goal against the Canaries.
In their opening match, Burnley recovered from two goals down against the Hammers thanks to a late double from Zian Flemming.
The Clarets have now gone 10 games without a clean sheet, while both sides have plenty of attacking options capable of exploiting weaknesses at the back.
With both teams already finding the net in their opening Championship fixtures, backing each of them to get on the scoresheet looks appealing.
West Brom v Burnley Bet Builder Tip
Under 3 goals
Jimmy-Jay Morgan to score or assist
Over 8 corners
Pays 11/1
Morgan has had an exceptional start to life at West Brom following his summer transfer from Chelsea.
He scored one and assisted another in the Baggies' 2-1 victory at Norwich after scoring twice in the EFL Cup against Rotherham United the previous weekend.
The forward should have opportunities to make another contribution against a Burnley side who have conceded in each of their last 10 matches.
The Under 2.5 goals leg may appear to go against the both teams to score selection, but a 1-1 draw would land both bets and is the most appealing correct-score scenario.
There should also be plenty of attacking pressure from both sides. Norwich versus West Brom produced 10 corners, while Burnley's clash with West Ham delivered 11.
The Clarets averaged 3.6 corners per game last season, with Albion averaging 5.4, giving this match a strong chance of producing the nine or more corners required.
