The score is even so far here. CHANCE WEST BROM! Salomon Rondon latches onto a long ball over the top of the Clarets defence, he fires a shot at goal from a tight angle but he effort is blocked by Kevin Long. Chris Brunt opts to play the resulting corner short and the subsequent cross goes straight out for a goal-kick. Best chance so far.
Boyd plays an excellent ball through the Baggies defence line, straight into the path of Vokes who is through on goal. However the linesman has his flag up for offside and rightly so. Good defensive line by West Brom. Less than 10 minutes to play at the end of the first half here, can either side break the deadlock before the end of the first period? Burnley look the most likely at the moment. CHANCE BURNLEY! McClean pulls off a superb last-ditch tackle to deny Scott Arfield what looks to be a perfect attempt at goal. Burnley went on the attack straight away after the stoppage through Evan's injury, the ball was played through to Arfield, however McClean did brilliantly to do his defensive work and make a great challenge.
Which comes to nothing. Despite their dominance at home this season, Burnley have only managed one victory in their last four home games, having won the previous five. Lowton whips a superb ball into the box, looking for the aerial presence of Vokes and Ashley Barnes, however Fletcher got up to head the ball away as far as Boyd, who brought the ball down and fired a shot at goal on the volley. However his effort is sliced high over the bar. Now it is West Brom's turn to attack! Rondon is starting to cause Long and James Tarkowski a few problems at the back, winning another Baggies corner.
The corner by Brunt is much better but Craig Dawson is pulled up for a foul on Tom Heaton as the Burnley skipper rose to gather the ball. CHANCE BURNLEY! Excellent save by Foster denies Sam Vokes from just a couple of yards out! The striker got the slightest of touches on Boyd's low cross into the box and it looks to be heading into the back of the net, before Foster made a superb save with his feet. Best chance of the game. West Brom have struggled since they reached the 40-point mark, failing to pick up any points in their last four Premier League games. The main problem for the Baggies this season has been their lack of goals, top goalscorer Rondon, has failed to hit the back of the net since December! Good cross-field switch by Darren Fletcher to get James McClean involved in the game.
The Baggies are five points short of that tally, they need to improve in the remaining 25 minutes or so if they are to take any points back to the Hawthorns today. CHANCE BURNLEY! The ball almost falls perfectly into the path of Arfield after a mix-up by McAuley and Dawson, the ball bounced dangerously in the box before it was eventually gathered by Foster, with Arfield lurking dangerously close by.
This is better from West Brom, they managed to withstand the early pressure from the hosts and are starting to enjoy a spell of possession of their own. However no real chances by either side just yet. The atmosphere is excellent here at Turf Moor, as the home supporters get behind their side, knowing that a victory would secure Premier League football next season.
GOOOAAAALLL! BURNLEY EQUALISE! Vokes scores his second goal of the game and levels the game here at Turf Moor. The free-kick came in by Brady and Foster tried to punch the ball clear, however he completely mistimes his jump and Vokes nods the ball into the back of the net ahead of him. That was poor from Foster. Brady is known for his quality at set pieces and he once again delivered there. The ball was right delivered right into the heart of the penalty area and forced Foster to make a decision. McAuley is shown a yellow card for his challenge on Gray. Free-kick to Burnley in a good position for Robbie Brady to whip a ball into the box.
However the winger cannot beat Matthew Lowton and Burnley win the ball back. Neither team are able to keep the ball for sustained periods at the moment. Burnley won their first away game of the season last time out - but they have never followed up a Premier League win on the road with another victory.
Stoppage in play here as Jonny Evans is down injured, it looks like he may have injured his ankle after a heavy landing. Allan Nyom is warming up on the sideline in case the centre-back cannot continue. Barnes wins a soft free-kick on the half-way line after a slight push from Fletcher. However it is a chance for Burnley to get the ball into the box, but it doesn't cause the Baggies any problems, however the subsequent cross from Boyd is headed out for a corner...
