We identify the key talking points as West Bromwich Albion welcome Burnley to the Hawthorns.
Who starts?
Tony Pulis could have a full squad to pick from if Nacer Chadli recovers in time for Monday night.
James McClean is available following his one-match suspension, but the performances of James Morrison and Matt Phillips against Leicester City mean Pulis will have some tough decisions to make for Monday.
There’s also a good chance that Saido Berahino makes the squad for the first time since September, following his individual fitness camp in France. The forward scored twice against Burnley the last time these two sides met at the Hawthorns.
Travelsick Burnley
Monday night’s visitors are yet to record an away victory this season.
Remarkably, Burnley’s only away point of this campaign came at Old Trafford, as the heroics of Tom Heaton helped shut out Manchester United.
Sean Dyche will be eager to end this slow start on the road at the Hawthorns, with difficult trips to Stoke, West Ham, Tottenham and Manchester City to come.
Despite their away struggles, the Clarets will be in a buoyant mood after a string of impressive results at Turf Moor, including a last-gasp 3-2 win over Crystal Palace last time out.
Building momentum
Albion’s win over Leicester was the perfect way to end a tough run of fixtures.
With games against Hull City, Watford and Swansea City to come, the Baggies should be looking to build up some steam over the busy winter period and climb the Premier League table.
Monday night is the perfect opportunity for Albion to string together their first back-to-back league wins since February.
