With Sheffield United also facing Fulham on Monday, this will be the first time the bottom four clubs are facing each another on the same day since 13 September 2014. Both West Brom and Burnley were involved that day too.

West Bromwich Albion have lost just one of their six Premier League meetings with Burnley. 

Burnley will try to avoid starting a top-flight season with four straight defeats for the first time since 1927.

The Clarets, who have lost their last four PL matches, last suffered five straight top-flight defeats in 1976.
