West Brom v Burnley in the Championship (20: 00 GMT) Baggies have drawn past five games and are winless in seven Fourth-placed Burnley are seven points behind leaders Sunderland Final game of a full midweek programme Get involved #bbcefl Alex Hoad West Brom 0-0 Burnley West Brom's Karlan Grant slaloms his way forward before being thwarted by a sliding Liam Cullen, who gets a whack for his trouble. It's Grant's last action as Devante Cole is indeed on to replace him. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Two goals in six games and 85 minutes at The Hawthorns this season. Credit to the 23, 443 in attendance, 1, 060 of them from Lancashire, who perhaps arrived more in hope than expectation this evening. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Glen Little Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire Both teams are lacking quality to create an opportunity and take it. Now we’re definitely in ‘next goal wins’ territory. West Brom 0-0 Burnley A slip from Baggies sub Uros Racic in his own box briefly sparks alarm but Connor Roberts is unable to capitalise as it happened so unexpectedly and the ball drifts through to Mason Holgate to tidy up. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Grandy Diangana is on, with Josh Maja withdrawn by Carlos Corberan for the final 10 minutes or so. Devante Cole looks ready to join him shortly, but his number is not shown yet. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Much better from Luca Koleosho who races to the byline for the first time tonight for Burnley and whips in an inviting cross which Torbjorn Heggem turns behind. The resultant corner is scrambled behind for another which is glanced on by Liam Cullen to the far post where there is precisely nobody waiting to turn in the loose ball at the back stick. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Richard Wilford West Brom commentator, BBC Radio WM There are groans at the Brummie Road End as fans look at their watches and say ‘we’re not going to score again here are we? ’. At the moment the highlight for Baggies fans is the pie and the Bovril. There has to be more goal threat. Still just the two goals in almost seven home matches for the Baggies now. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Baggies defender Darnell Furlong opts against a long throw, instead playing a give and go down the right flank but gets his cross all wrong and the ball sails 25 yards past the far post and clean out of play. All the big guns were up and have to lope back now. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Glen Little Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire I’m disappointed Sarmiento went off. He’s probably been the most likely to get a goal. I would’ve kept him on. Maybe he’s cramped up or picked up a bit of a knock. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Luca Koleosho is playing on the left flank for Burnley tonight and has had a bit of a frustrating one. He leaves an arm up as he tries to close down Darnell Furlong and concedes a free-kick and has his name taken too. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Jeremy Sarmiento heads off for the visitors, with Josh Laurent coming on for the Clarets, and joining Brownhill and Cullen in a three-Josh Clarets side. Maja makes it four on the pitch. Can one of the Joshes find us a goal? West Brom 0-0 Burnley Ged Scott BBC Sport at The Hawthorns Both sets of fans are doing their best. As are both teams. But general enthusiasm does seem to have waned somewhat. The half-time coffee was warm and wet, at least. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Glen Little Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire Burnley have mixed it up tonight. It’s not all been the slow passing at the back. They have gone long at times and it’s nearly worked on a few occasions. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Richard Wilford West Brom commentator, BBC Radio WM We have an outbreak of a game of chess here at the moment. The second half's been less of a spectacle than the first. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Albion sub Lewis Dobbin does well to burst away in midfield but then gets his attempted through-ball horribly wrong. It allows the Burnley defence to cut it out to loud groans of anguish from the home fans who were finally thinking about getting off their seats with a couple of men over. Shame. Again. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Nicely done from Karlan Grant, driving down the Baggies left, making a yard of space and then whipping a low cross across the face of goal which evades everyone, including Josh Maja, and sails out the far side of the six yard box. Got to gamble on those. Maja has eight goals this season but only one of them in the seven games Albion have now played at home. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Some pretty attacking build-up from Burnley, working it forward and then from left to right but Jaidon Anthony's final pass to the overlapping Connor Roberts is too firm and his attempt to dig out a cross sails over the bar. Shame. The approach play deserved a chance at least. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Three changes for Carlos Corberan as he tries to end this seven-game winless streak in the final half-hour or so. John Swift, Tom Fellows and Alex Mowatt make way with Uros Racic, Michael Johnstone and Lewis Dobbin coming off the bench. West Brom 0-0 Burnley Glen Little Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire The game’s come to life. The crowd’s come to life as well. The start to the second half was really poor, but now it’s exploded. Pires’ shot looked like it was heading for the corner, but it’s just clipped the outside of the post. West Brom 0-0 Burnley The visitors are well on top now and Lucas Pires pounces on a slip on the edge of the Baggies box and fires in a right-footed half-volley which comes back off the far post with keeper Alex Palmer left completely flat-footed.
