Burnley manager Sean Dyche could stick with a winning formula for their first home game of the season against West Brom.
The Clarets have no fresh injury concerns from the team that stunned champions Chelsea by winning 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in their opening game last weekend.
Phil Bardsley is yet to make his Burnley debut after arriving from Stoke City in the summer
Dean Marney (knee) is Dyche's only long-term injury absentee, while summer signing Phil Bardsley has been struggling for match fitness.
Provisional squad: Heaton, Legzdins, Pope, Lowton, Long, Mee, Taylor, Ward, Darikwa, Tarkowski, Defour, Brady, Ulvestad, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, Arfield, Gudmundsson, Vokes, Agyei, Barnes, Walters.
West Brom
Gareth Barry is added to the West Brom squad for their trip to Burnley.
The experienced midfielder joined Albion from Everton this week on an initial one-year deal and he is expected to make his full debut at Turf Moor, with Sam Field most likely to drop out of the team.

Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Nyom, Dawson, Yuning, Hegazi, Brunt, Marc Wilson, Kane Wilson, Yacob, Livermore, Field, McClean, Harper, Chadli, Barry, Rondon, Robson-Kanu, Leko, Rodriguez.
