Clarets are LIVE from Turf Moor to you this afternoon


Text Commentary:
1' May immediately put under the pump and sent it clear.
1' Great interception from Camara, caught the Baggies on the break but is closed down and the ball goes out for a Burnley throw-in.
2' Blake swings in a ball from long range and Hoult collects with ease, had plenty of time and space.
3' Little caught in posession, May eventually heads back cleverly to Jensen.
4' Blake finds Chadwick with a good ball down the right, eventually puts in a ball and it wasn't bad, but eludes Little flying in at the back stick.
4' Just at the moment, Branch down the left hand side and Little through the middle, that's an interesting one.
5' Cross in from the wide right for Johnson who was offside, but the ball went out for a goal-kick anyway.
5' Haas in very strongly on Blake after losing out to Branch, referee has strong words for the Baggies full back.
6' Long ball forward, dealt with by McGregor at the back and hooked clear on the left foot.
7' Moore chests it down for Blake but the Claret number 8 just closed out in the end.
7' Little receives the ball via Chadwick and fancied a shot, was blocked and then tried to feed a ball back to Chadwick but he couldn't collect the pass.
9' Jensen does well and puts a long ball for Moore with Horsfield applying some pressure.
10' Chadwick caught in posession by Chambers, Baggies come forward.
10' Offside claim by the Clarets, not given, real chance for Horsfield - Jensen makes the block, and a good save it was too from close range and the Baggies will be disappointed with that.
11' Johnson in strongly on Grant, but the referee opts to penalise Grant strangely - despite Grant coming away with it, poor decision by Nigel Miller.
12' Gaardsoe penalised for pushing Little.
13' Grant takes a bang to the head, he collided with Gregan - the referee forced to stop play. Flat on his back on the halfway line. He'll be alright though.
14' No Nay Never ringing out around the ground for the first time in a while, the crowd are up for it today.
15' May knocks the drop-ball back to Hoult in a sporting manner.
15' Gregan in some space, a ball for Horsfield and McGregor hastily screws it away for a corner. Comes to nothing, Darren Moore posing a threat though.
17' Grant in strongly diving in, didn't win the ball and going into the book - somewhat softly however, Grant booked despite Robinson speaking on his behalf.
18' Camara on the by-line, trying to get a ball in he's spooned it high - Clarets eventually win a throw-in. Good run from Camara, interesting that Grant moved to left-back while Camara made the run.
20' Ball from Little to Blake cut out when the Clarets were in a good position.
21' Foul by D Moore on I Moore, Blake will take a shot here. Blake, shoots... oh and a good effort, bent it around but couldn't come back far enough and just shaved the post.
22' Speculative effort from Hulse from long range goes well over the bar.
23' Long ball forward by Hoult after Darren Moore appeared to be all over Ian Moore, nearly let Hulse in but the striker couldn't collect the ball.
24' Break for West Brom, here's Horsfield, another great chance, one on one here, great work from Jensen came and knocked it away with his body as the ball just eluded the Albion striker.
25' Clarets on a swift counter attack, ball in Branch just about gets on the end of it, corner. Ball in, May wins the header but it goes wide. Promising stuff, but an open game.
26' Chadwick with a chance to get a ball in, and he does, but it's poor - West Brom counter-attack.
26' Little fouled, just took a knock to the knee.
27' Hulse in terribly on his man - he's in real trouble here, HE'S OFF! HULSE HAS BEEN SENT OFF!! Jumped into his man (McGregor?) with his elbow raised and seemed to be no question about it. Top scorer for Albion, and well - a real chance for Burnley now.
29' Roche working hard, battles back to win a ball he'd lost, then got caught. This is a niggling game.
31' Clement surging forward for West Brom, fired in a low shot at Jensen's near post and it was an excellent save, made it look so easy too.
31' Eventually the flag goes up for offside against the Baggies striker.
32' Clarets attack comes to nothing as the ball was headed back to Hoult by Haas.
33' Chadwick on a run, trying to feed it to Blake, instead it comes inside for Grant and he tries a cross which Hoult collects under his crossbar.
34' Corner to West Brom. Swung in low to the near post, away by Little and then away by May. Burnley defended well then.
35' Blake, being man marked by Chambers, feeds McGregor and the Clarets rebuild around the back.

37' Ball for Haas from about 30 yards, good tackle from May.
38' Backpass! Darren Moore passed it back to Hoult, and he picked it up. Indirect free-kick, hit by Blake, came to nothing. Roche swung in a ball, McGregor headed wide. Decent effort from Macca.
40' Ball inside the box, bobbling all around - Grant tries a shot it was blocked, but possibly by hand, referee says play on. Comes to nothing.
42' Blake snapped by Johnson, a two-footed lunge apparently. No card though. Have to wonder if it was that bad really...
43' Cross in from the free-kick, caught by Hoult easily.
44' Camara caught out of position there, Johnson found himself in a lot of space but fortunately for Burnley Little was on hand to cover.
45' Camara again caught out of position, chasing back, long shot comes in and goes well over the bar.
45' 3 minutes of time added on.

Pre-Match Notes:
Chaplow is missing, now serving his one-match ban for his dismissal at Mansfield.
Gnohere unable to shake of his Hamstring niggle and fails to make the squad.
Weller out with what is believed to be a hamstring strain, Branch in.
New signing Nathan Abbey is on the bench.
For Brom, Kinsella is on the bench, and Hulse is set to partner Horsfield up front with Sakiri making way.
Albion have only won one
