WALTERS!!! That should have been 1-1!! A terrific cross finds him in acres of space about 10 yards out, and he tries to head it back across Foster's net but only succeeds in heading it well over the bar.
90' +2
A. Barnes gets yellow.
All Burnley as you might expect, but West Brom are holding firm and not letting their hosts have a sniff of a chance.
Barnes is booked for a frustration push on Ben Foster as the 'keeper went up to catch a cross.
90' +1
The fourth official signals four added minutes as Vokes heads a cross over the bar.
89'
Hendrick goes close again! Lowton drives in a low cross and it's cleared to the edge of the box, and Hendrick comes in from the left to drill it way over the bar. Cork was rushing in to hit it, but Hendrick beat him to it and put it well over.
86'
S. Rondón enters the game and replaces S. Field.
Pulis throws on Salomon Rondon for Field to give his defenders something to aim for upfield.
83'
H. Robson-Kanu goes off after a red card!
RED CARD! That's the end of Hal Robson-Kanu's cameo as he's been sent off for an elbow! He very clearly leads with his elbow and catches Lowton in the head, so he's got to go regardless of whether he meant to do it. The goalscorer departs Turf Moor to a chorus of boos, and Burnley have a chance to nab a point now.
81'
Burnley have a free kick but it's cleared only as far as Lowton, whose shot nearly ends up in a different postcode.
79'
A. Barnes enters the game and replaces J. Guðmundsson.
Guðmundsson goes off for Ashley Barnes after a rather ineffective game.
78'
J. Walters enters the game and replaces R. Brady.
Former Stoke attacker Jonathan Walters, who played under Pulis at the Midlands club, comes on for Brady.
77'
As it stands, West Brom are in second place, with two 1-0 wins this season. It could all change in the next 10 minutes or so, though, as Dyche considers his options on the bench.
Minute
Description
74'
Robson-Kanu is in the thick of it again as he puts Tarkowski under pressure from a long ball, and eventually wins the free kick after being tripped by the Burnley man. What an impact he's having!
71'
H. Robson-Kanu has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion! Assist by M. Phillips.
GOOAALLL!!! ROBSON-KANU! What a terrific goal by the Wales international! A long ball of nothing isn't dealt with by Ward, and Robson-Kanu bullies his way past Tarkowski before firing past Heaton at the near post! Great show of strength to put West Brom 1-0 up.
Matt Phillips gets the assist with a hoof of a long ball from his own half.
69'
Coming up to the last 20 minutes of the game now as West Brom launch a long free kick into the box, but it's easily dealt with by Tarkowski. Story of the day.
66'
It's Brady, but it's hit straight into West Brom's 6-man wall. Ward follows it up but his volley is also blocked.
65'
Vokes wins a free kick in a great position, on the edge of the are and almost central. Defour and Brady both want it...
63'
H. Robson-Kanu enters the game and replaces J. McClean.
West Brom are readying a sub as they attempt to create some kind of opening, but whether that will impact this stubborn Burnley defence remains to be seen.
Hal Robson-Kanu comes on for James McLean.
60'
West Brom's turn to attack now as Phillips tricks out Ward again, but the Burnley defender clears for a corner which comes to nothing.
56'
The corner comes out to an onrushing Defour, but his volley into the ground spins away from Foster and away from the goal.
Bit of neat tiki-taka football from Burnley (not a sentence you hear everyday) on the edge of the area, but Brunt boots it out for a corner before Vokes can get his shot away.
53'
This fixture has seen two 2-2 draws at Turf Moor in the past three seasons, but you get the feeling that won't happen today as West Brom fire another cross far too long for anybody to reach.
50'
Phillips completely bamboozles Ward and the Burnley man goes to ground far too early, forcing him to trip the West Brom winger on the edge of the area before he can probe into the box. Brunt takes it, but it sails harmlessly wide. Bit of a waste.
47'
The ball is in the net! But it's offside. Livermore's initial shot is blocked and he fires home the rebound, but Rodriguez was standing in an interfering offside position the entire time.
46'
It's Burnley to kick us off again, although they'll have to wait for the sprinklers to go off before they can get the ball rolling. Then again, having water blasting in all directions would make this match (and many others) more interesting...
David Bowie rings around Turf Moor as the referee blows his whistle, and we are underway for another 45 minutes of football!
45'
Just the one minute of added time here, although it looks like that won't matter as this one will probably stay 0-0 for the next minute or so.
43'
MEE! My oh my, Mee. The Burnley defender escapes Gareth Barry from a corner and is two yards out from goal, but he can't get his head over the ball and it goes inches wide. Best chance of the half by far!
40'
FIELD! Well, that would have been comical. West Brom swing a corner in and it's flicked on to Sam Field about four yards out, but he's facing the wrong way and it hits his head before flying into the crowd. Goes down as a chance, regardless of whether he could see it or not.
38'
VOKES! Should be 1-0!! Brady digs out a cross and bends it perfectly onto what should have been the head of Sam Vokes, but the Burnley strikes fails to make contact from six yards out and it sails out for a goal kick. So close for the hosts
34'
Bit of risky defending from Burnley as Lowton knocks the ball back to Heaton, who has to chest it and launch it high in the air over an onrushing forward and back to his teammate. Lowton is able to clear, but wins a free kick for his troubles after being fouled by McLean.
32'
Another chance for Gudmundsson! He latches onto an outswinging cross after beating Hegazi in the air, but his downward header lacks enough power to beat Foster.
30'
Close from Gudmundsson! Vokes easily wins the ball in the air and heads it down to the Icelandic midfielder, but his curling shot goes inches wide of Foster's far post.
28'
Good work down the right from Phillips sees him skip into the box, but he's met by the boot of Mee and Burnley can get it clear. A rare sign of life from West Brom.
25'
Hendrick! The Burnley man goes close twice after a corner causes all kinds of confusion in the Baggies' box, but both his goalbound shots are blocked and West Brom are able to clear.
23'
Phillips screams for a backpass after Mee knocks a long ball back to Heaton, who picks it up, but it appeared to come off his knee.
21'
Hegazi has to go off again after the cut above his eye reopens, and forces him into yet another shirt change. He's determined to play on, but if they can't get this cut to stop bleeding they'll have to Terry Butcher him up.
19'
Hendrick wins a free kick after trying to take on four West Brom players. Didn't look to be much of a foul in there, but amongst that melee of bodies it's likely there was a naughty kick or two.
16'
Hendrick goes close from 20 yards after good work by Cork, but his shot was always going wide.
12'
Not much going on after those half-chances in the opening five minutes, in truth. Both sides are opting for the long ball but, perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not really doing much.
9'
Change of shirt already - and a few wolf-whistles - as Hegazi has to put on a new strip following a clash of heads with his own man Dawson. They're both absolutely fine but the blood on Hegazi's shirt means he has to change it.
7'
Burnley are trying to play keep-ball but the Baggies are determined to take the game to their hosts. That being said, when they do get the ball they waste it - as epitomised by McLean miscontrolling a pass from Barry.
4'
Hendrick tries a speculative volley from 25 yards after a good knock-down by Vokes, but he fizzes the ball well over the bar. Good start from both teams.
1'
Jake Livermore kicks us off here in Lancashire, and we are underway.
Early chance for West Brom as Lowton gifts McLean possession in Burnley's third, but his driven cross is cleared.
Half a chance for West Brom as Rodriguez pulls away from his man to meet Brunt's inswinging corner, but he can't get any meaningful contact on the ball and Heaton collects with ease.
Hello and welcome to this live text commentary of Burnley v West Brom at Turf Moor.
About 20 minutes to go until kick off now, with Burnley looking to build on their stunning 3-2 win at Chelsea last week, whilst West Brom began their season with a 1-0 victory at home to Bournemouth
Burnley XI: Tom Heaton; Matt Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Stephen Ward; Johann Gudmundsson, Jack Cork, Jeff Hendrick, Steven Defour, Robbie Brady; Sam Vokes.
West Brom XI: Ben Foster; Allan Nyom, Craig Dawson, Ahmed Hegazi, Chris Brunt; Sam Field, Jake Livermore, Gareth Barry, Matt Phillips, Jay Rodriguez, James McClean.
West Brom subs: Myhill, Robson-Kanu, Rondon, Chadli, Harper, Leko, Wilson.
Just a couple of minutes until the game is underway. This fixture saw an entertaining 2-2 draw last season, with Sam Vokes bagging a late equaliser to deny the visitors the points.
And the referee blows up for half-time with the score at 0-0. Not many chances to speak of, but Ben Mee should have put his side ahead just a few minutes ago.
Hendrick has had a couple of decent chances for the hosts, and Field went close for the Baggiess, but ultimately this game has 0-0 written all over it. Let's hope the second half is a bit better!
The teams are almost ready to get back out there, after facing the wrath of their respective managers. Sean Dyche and Burnley will be pushing for all the points, whilst you suspect West Brom and Tony Pulis will be very happy with an away point.
And that's all she wrote! Walters' chance was the last one of the game, and West Brom take all three points back to the Midlands after scraping a 1-0 victory here in Burnley.
Not the most interesting of matches by any stretch of the imagination, but Robson-Kanu changed the game when he came on in the 63rd minute, scored eight minutes later after showing glorious strength to shake off two Burnley defenders, and was then sent off on 83 minutes for a rash elbow on Lowton. It'll be a three-game ban for him, but more importantly, it's another three points for West Brom.
Thank you for joining me here, where the final score at Turf Moor is Burnley 0-1 West Brom. Goodbye!
