West Brom vs Burnley – Match Preview

West Brom will continue to be without striker Saido Berahino, who has not played since September and will return to a conditioning camp in France as he continues to regain full fitness.

Salomon Rondon has recovered from a hamstring injury, but Nacer Chadli may miss out after minor knee surgery.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has no fresh injury concerns.

Defender Stephen Ward remains doubtful with the hamstring problem which kept him out of the win over Crystal Palace.
