Scott Parker’s side were unable to capitalise on Sheffield United’s 1-1 draw with Bristol City, while leaders Leeds United aren’t in action until tonight.
A 1-1 draw was about the right result, however, with Tony Mowbray’s side limiting the Clarets to very few clear-cut opportunities in front of goal.
The points were shared after Zian Flemming got the home side back on level terms after John Swift’s free-kick had given West Brom the lead.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

4. CJ Egan-Riley - 6/10
