Match Preview:

Burnley come into this game in 14^th place and are in poor form having lost their last 3 matches. Last weekend they lost 3-0 away to Sheffield United and they are a point behind their visitors.

Sean Dyche’s team have lost 45% of their games and at home have won 60%, with 2 losses from 5 games. Those defeats came against Chelsea and Liverpool so there should be little surprise, but there is a feeling that the team are not performing to their top standards. In one way the club look likely to be fighting for survival but in another could well have a season without incident.

On form West Ham would be in 18^th position and after a poor run of games there has even been whisperings that manager Manuel Pellegrini could be on borrowed time. Fans have complained that the Chilean so lauded when he arrived at the club doesn’t have many ideas, one of those being he replaces players in games for like for like and sticks with the same tactics no matter how the game is going.

The Hammers have won 2 points from their last 15 and lost to Newcastle at home last weekend. It would have been the manner in how they were defeated that was grating. Conceding 3 goals to Newcastle who had previously scored 6 in 10 games, is worrying times.

The Londoners have only won once on the road so far this season and that was against bottom club Watford. Although they have only lost once too and have drawn 3 games. Their last away game ended in a 2-0 loss at Everton.
