Clarets hit the road to face the Baggies
2026-08-22T18:00+01:00
Burnley head to the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon for the first away game of the 2026/27 campaign, as Nicky Hayen's side take on West Bromwich Albion.
The Clarets head to the Midlands after picking up a valuable point against the Hammers last weekend, after coming from behind to seal a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor.
West Brom go into Sunday's meeting after beating Rotherham United in the Carabao Cup and then a league win over Norwich City at Carrow Road last Sunday.
It will be the first meeting between the two teams at the Hawthorns since November 2024, when the Clarets were last in the Championship, with the game ending goalless.
West Bromwich Albion - ones to watch
Jimmy-Jay Morgan
Young forward Jimmy-Jay Morgan signed for the Baggies this summer from Chelsea in a permanent move, following a successful loan spell at Peterborough United last season.
The 20-year-old striker joined Chelsea's academy as a youngster in 2023 and after featuring for the U21s in his first two seasons, he spent time on loan with Gillingham, before his time with the Posh last term, where he scored 14 goals.
Morgan got his Albion career off to the perfect start last weekend, as the forward scored and grabbed an assist in the win against Norwich City at Carrow Road.
George Campbell
USA international George Campbell is into his second season at the Hawthorns, after joining the Baggies last summer from CF Montreal.
The centre-back featured 41 times during his first campaign with the Albion, scoring four Sky Bet Championship goals along the way.
The 25-year-old defender has started in both West Brom's opening two games, with James Morrison's side coming out on top against both Rotherham United and Norwich City.
Isaac Price
Northern Ireland winger Isaac Price has already racked up over 60 appearances for West Brom since arriving in the Midlands in January 2025 from Standard Liege.
Price enjoyed a prolific campaign last year, as the 22-year-old scored nine goals in the Championship and registered three assists.
The wideman has played in both of the Baggies' opening two games and will be looking to enjoy another successful season at the Hawthorns.
