West Ham are unbeaten in six meetings with Burnley, with the Clarets winning only four of 30 visits to East London since 1961, their most recent victory at the London Stadium coming in July 2020.
West Ham vs Burnley preview
Two of the Premier League's bottom four go head-to-head in a crucial claret clash on Saturday, so will either claim three precious points? Last Sunday, West Ham United won a home game for the first time in 248 days, a run that dated back to February. It did not start well, with Jarrod Bowen thwacking the post, only for Newcastle to go up the other end and snatch a fourth minute lead. Nevertheless, Lucas Paquetá's rocket resorted parity, and own goal in first half stoppage time saw the Irons edge in front before Tomáš Souček bundled home the clincher in injury time.
Before this, West Ham's sole victory of the campaign had come against Nuno Espírito Santo's Nottingham Forest in August, with the Portuguese manager claiming victory at the fifth attempt since arriving in East London. The Hammers do though remain in the relegation zone, three points from safety, with Bournemouth, Liverpool, Manchester United, Brighton, Aston Villa and Manchester City their opponents between now and Christmas Day. Thus, the Irons really need a victory here.
Burnley meantime kick off just the right side of the dreaded dotted line, knowing that a victory here would see them accelerate six points clear of their hosts. Last weekend, Scott Parker's team were easily swatted aside by Arsenal at Turf Moor, beaten 2-0, with Marcus Edwards' stoppage time free-kick that thwacked the post, this the last kick of the afternoon, the closest they came.
Before this though, the Clarets had enjoyed back-to-back victories, thereby propelling themselves out of the bottom three. First, goals from Lesley Ugochukwu and then Loum Tchaouna saw them defeat Leeds at home, before Lyle Foster poked home an injury time winner against fellow strugglers Wolves at Molineux, pinching a 3-2 victory. Burnley have not won back-to-back Premier League away games since May 2021, the first of which was also over Wolves back then, so can they repeat that feat and add to the doom and gloom at exists at the London Stadium?

West Ham team news
Nuno Espírito Santo remains without injured defenders Konstantinos Mavropanos and Oliver Scarles as well as centre-forward Niclas Füllkrug.
Youngster Freddie Potts, whose father and brother both played for West Ham, was handed a full Premier League debut against Newcastle and made an enormous difference, adding legs to an otherwise struggling midfield.
He is set to keep his place, chosen over last weekend's scorer Tomáš Souček, with Nuno set to deploy an unchanged lineup, featuring the previously out of favour Callum Wilson in attack. Lucas Paquetá would sit out the trip to Bournemouth later this month if cautioned.
West Ham United predicted lineup vs Burnley: (4-3-3): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf; Potts, Fernandes, Bowen, Paquetá, Summerville; Wilson.
West Ham player to watch vs Burnley

Scott Parker switched to a back five for the visit of league-leaders Arsenal, but is set to revert to a four here, with Josh Laurent the most likely centre-back to drop out.
Should this be the case, Loum Tchaouna, scorer of an absolute piledriver against Leeds a fortnight ago, will return out-wide, with Zian Flemming leading the line, chosen over Lyle Foster.
Burnley predicted lineup vs West Ham United: (4-5-1): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Tuanzebe, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, Tchaouna, Anthony; Flemming.
