Burnley winless in four
Last Saturday, Burnley suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United to go four games without a win.
Three games of this run have been played away from Turf Moor and the games prior to Newcastle were all draws.
However, with Burnley performing marginally better at home than away and averaging three goals per game in their last two Burnley might fancy themselves to turn things around against the Hammers.
“At the start of the season, my question was ‘Is there any chance we could get two more points?’ because that would have caught Chelsea. I was worried we could have taken a bit of a dip but I think we’ve improved and we’re trying to keep those standards.”

Hammers win in London derby
The early kick-off last Saturday saw West Ham defeat Chelsea 3-2 in a thriller to kick off the weekend.
That result ended a three-game winless run for the Hammers and kept them in the top four.
West Ham showed tremendous resilience in coming back from behind twice against the title challengers and this will serve them well as they seek to maintain the advantage in the battle for fourth spot.
Burnley vs West Ham United predictions
Maxwel Cornet misses this one and he will be a huge miss to Burnley, West Ham’s away record is the best outside of the top three and we fancy them to come out with all three points here.
While we believe West Ham will win this one, we believe Burnley will at least score, West Ham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six Premier League matches. West Ham to win and both teams to score is priced at 3/1.
