HOW THINGS STAND
So, basically. things can barely get worse for either side.
Burnley are winless and pointless in three, while West Brom have managed a draw among three losses.
Tonight, somebody has to win some points. The Baggies are 18th, the Clarets are 20th. It's poor, but something has got to give.
