Prediction published on 07/07/2020, 13:54  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 07/07/2020 at 14:54 in Premier League Predictions

West Ham United have four points from their last two league games. That has taken them to 16th in the Premier League and they look for three points against tenth at the time of writing this preview. West Ham have moved to four points above the relegation zone and a couple more wins might make them safe. That being said, the bottom three are in terrible form and look like remaining in those positions for the rest of the season. West Ham drew 2-2 at Newcastle at the weekend, ending a run of seven straight away league losses. They led twice in that game though but it was a positive result following the 3-2 home win over Chelsea that preceded it. West Ham have only lost one of their last four home league games. They have managed to score three times in all but one of those games.

 Burnley come into this game with just one loss in the last 11 league games. That was the 5-0 defeat at Manchester City and they won't want another hammering like that in this match. Burnley are tenth in the table with five league games remaining. A good run-in will be needed for them to get into the Europa League qualification pages. Three of their last five away league fixtures have been won with good victories at Manchester United, Southampton and Crystal Palace. They have kept clean sheets in three of those matches so this will be a tough battle for West Ham. The home side have some momentum just at the right time and the tip here is for them to get a vital victory.
