Burnley have a tough task at home, welcoming a resurgent West Ham United as the Premier League goes into Match Day 16. Burnley are stuck in the relegation region, in 18th place with 10 points and they face a West Ham side in fourth place on 27 points. The 17-point gap between these two sides tell their stories in the season; Burnley have managed just one win in their 15 matches so far. They are also among the lowest scorers in the league, with 14 goals so far and are coming from a crucial loss, 1-0 to fellow strugglers Newcastle United. That loss marked the second straight game they failed to score. Here they get to a harder assignment, carrying just one clean sheet in the last five and one win in the last 10 matches across all competitions. The hosts have failed to score in half of their last 10 matches

West Ham United have two straight wins over Burnley and after beating Chelsea in the last league match, they’ll have the momentum to push on here. They are seeking to consolidate their place in the top four and three points here will be crucial. A much changed West Ham side fell 1-0 t Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League but that should not define their approach to this game; most of their top stars are expected back. The Hammers have seven wins more than Burnley and their goal tally is twice Burnley’s. While they have no clean sheet in five league matches, West Ham have managed to score in four of them. One thing they’ll have to observe though, is that they have conceded twice on three occasions in the last five league matches. They have back to back away league losses in the last two but those are their only away league in the last 10.
