West Bromwich - Burnley

West Bromwich Albion aim to maintain their clinical attacking form as they return to The Hawthorns for their second Championship fixture on 23 August 2026. Having secured a 2-1 victory over Norwich City and a convincing 4-1 cup win against Rotherham United, the hosts enter this clash with Burnley riding a wave of confidence. The expected XI, featuring the attacking duo of Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Aune Selland Heggeboe, will look to test a visiting defense that has shown vulnerability in recent outings.

Burnley arrive seeking their first win of the league campaign after a 2-2 draw with West Ham United. Their recent form has been defined by parity, including a 1-1 cup stalemate against Notts County. With Zian Flemming and Marcus Edwards expected to lead the line, the visitors will look to disrupt the hosts' rhythm in a fixture that has historically been tight, as evidenced by the 1-1 draw between these sides in March 2025.
