West Ham continue their push for a European finish as they welcome struggling Burnley to the London Stadium for a Premier League fixture. The Hammers have been resurgent in recent weeks and should have too much quality for Burnley, who continue to look out of their depth in the topflight.
West Ham head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 1-0 defeat to German side Freiburg in their Europa League round of 16 first leg. While manager David Moyes will be disappointed to have left Germany empty-handed, he will be confident of turning things around in the second leg at the London Stadium.
For this weekend, West Ham must turn their attention to domestic matters and maintain their recent good form. They have won their last two Premier League matches, claiming a 4-2 victory over Brentford before a 3-1 victory at Everton last time out.
The victory over Brentford means West ham are unbeaten in seven of their last eight Premier League home matches. However, they often struggle to keep things tight at the back and have conceded 10 goals in the last three fixtures in that run.
Burnley have had very little to cheer about this season and are looking increasingly doomed to return to the Championship. They remain mired in the relegation zone and are winless in their last nine Premier League matches, suffering seven defeats in that run.
The Clarets are coming off a 2-0 home defeat to Bournemouth in their previous Premier League fixture. They had plenty of possession and created several chances but were wasteful in front of goal.
Burnley have also found things difficult on their travels, losing their last five away matches across all competitions. Vincent Kompany’s men were beaten 3-0 at Crystal Palace in their previous fixture on the road.
How the bookies view it
West Ham have the upper hand among the bookies with a home win priced at 4/6 by Coral. An unlikely victory for Burnley is valued at 9/2 by Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 16/5 by William Hill.
Head to head
West Ham have a 31-22 advantage with 18 draws from 71 previous matches against Burnley. The Hammers have also won three of the last four meetings and claimed a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in November.
Players to watch
Jarrod Bowen is the leading scorer for West Ham with 14 goals and will be the one to watch on Sunday. The forward netted a hat-trick in the last home fixture and is priced at 7/4 with bet365.
With West Ham often unconvincing at the back, Burnley will be looking to capitalise on that vulnerability. Zeki Amdouni should feature in attack and is priced at 4/1 by William Hill to get on the score sheet.
Anything else catch the eye?
West Ham have seen over 3.5 goals in their last two Premier League matches and a similar outcome is priced at 7/4 with BoyleSports. Over 2.5 goals could also be considered at 7/10 with BetVictor while bet365 is offering odds of 3/4 on both teams to score.
West Ham scored in both halves in their last home fixture and could be set for a repeat at 6/4 with bet365. The Hammers are priced at minimal odds for a straight victory, so a win and over 2.5 goals could be considered at 29/20 by Coral.
