West Ham United welcome Burnley to the London Stadium in the Premier League this evening.

David Moyes’s side revived their hopes of survival with a shock win against Chelsea last week, but twice let a lead slip against Newcastle when another three points would have calmed any remaining fears over a slide into the bottom three.

However, four points still separate the Hammers from 18th-placed Aston Villa and a victory tonight would all but certainly secure their spot in next season’s competition.

Despite a breakdown in relationship between manager Sean Dyche and chairman Mike Garlick, Burnley continue to flourish on the pitch. Since defeat by Manchester City, the Clarets have amassed two wins and a draw, although a place in the Europa League is already out of reach.

Prediction

With West Ham finally capturing form and still fighting to completely ensure their survival, they should have the quality and desire at home to outmatch a Burnley side who’ve performed valiantly but will be somewhat fatigued with a lack of depth to call on.
