West Bromwich Albion will face Burnley in the second match-week of the Premier League, at the Turf Moor, on Saturday.
The Baggies kicked their new campaign off with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the Hawthorns and manager Tony Pulis will be keen on building on the momentum and add three more points to the club’s tally come Saturday. But Sean Dyche’s Clarets won’t be an easy opposition at home, more so after their buoyant victory over champions Chelsea in the opening week of the season.
The Baggies are likely to be without captain Jonny Evans once again as the former Manchester United man recovers from a hamstring problem. Fellow centre-back Gareth McAuley is ruled out due to a thigh problem, while midfielder James Morrison too is unavailable as he recovers from a knee injury.
The Englishman started the season with a clean sheet against Bournemouth and will want to add one more against the Clarets.
With a number of key members still missing from the Baggies backline, the 29-year Allan Nyom will once again get a starting berth, at right-back.
The 27-year old right-back will once again slot in at the heart of the defence due to the unavailability of Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley.
The loan signing from Al Ahly turned hero on his debut, scoring the only goal against the Cherries last weekend and will come into the game high on confidence.
The 32-year old Northern Irishman will complete the back four for West Brom, taking up his place at left-back.
The Argentine will be deployed with the task of shielding the back four for the Baggies. We could see new signing Gareth Barry come on late in the game.
The Scotland international will start on the right flank and will look to create chances for his teammates from wide areas.
The teenage starlet was handed a start by Pulis in the season opener, and is very much likely to keep his place in the playing XI.
Field will be partnered by the experienced Jake Livermore. The 27-year old captained the side last week and with Evans unlikely to return, he will once again lead the team out.
The Ireland international will occupy the left flank and look to raid forward with his pace and power.
The summer arrival was the biggest threat for the Baggies while going forward last game and could prove to be a handful against his former club on Saturday.
