Ben Mee is set to return for Burnley after recovering from a head injury. 

Striker Matej Vydra (hamstring) could also be back in contention, but wingers Johann Berg Gudmundsson (hamstring) and Robbie Brady (Achilles) are both out.

Erik Pieters (groin) remains a doubt, while this match will probably come too soon for Chris Wood (hamstring).

West Bromwich Albion report no fresh injury concerns for the Turf Moor trip.

Did you know?

Burnley are seeking to win consecutive PL matches on a Saturday for the first time in a year, since they defeated Southampton and AFC Bournemouth last February.

There have been 153 PL goals scored by Burnley players on a Saturday, with Ashley Barnes (25) and Chris Wood (22) scoring 31 per cent of those between them.

West Brom have only lost one of their seven PL meetings with Burnley (W3 D3).

Since January 2018, Mbaye Diagne has been directly involved in 62 goals in 74 top-flight appearances, scoring 56 and assisting six for Kasimpasa, Galatasaray, Club Brugge and West Brom.
