Comments:

League position: 15th 24 goals had now been scored at Turf Moor so far in this Premier League season (for ten, against 14); the joint-lowest in the division with Fulham's Craven Cottage. Burnley had now won one of their last nine games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams. Four of the Clarets' 25 games so far in this Premier League season had now ended in a goalless draw.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion had now kept clean sheets in three games so far in this Premier League season; only Sheffield United had kept fewer (one). The Baggies had now been shown four red cards so far in this Premier League season; only Arsenal had been shown more (five). This was Albion's first goalless draw in the Premier League since Burnley's visit to The Hawthorns on 19 October 2020. Seyi Ajayi was sent off following a VAR review for a handball denying a goal scoring opportunity.
