West Ham travel to Turf Moor on Saturday looking to pile more misery on Burnley as they seek their second successive win. Burnley, on the other hand, are still looking for their first win of the season seven games in.
Burnley sit level bottom of the league, along with Newcastle and QPR, on 4 points, and all their points have come from draws. West Ham however have had a steady start to their season, Winning three and drawing one and they sit a surprising seventh in the league on 10 points.
Burnley's biggest problem this season has been goals, and that's reflected in their form. In their last five Premier League games, they've managed four draws and a loss. Three of the draws ended 0-0, they then were humiliated by West Brom and lost 4-0 at The Hawthorns. Like buses, they waited for a goal and two came at once in their last game against Leicester, they managed a 2-2 draw.
The Hammers' boss Sam Allardyce has been under pressure for most of this season, and despite their creditable seventh in the league, there are still fans in the West Ham faithful who want to see Big Sam go. Their form is a little rocky, with two losses to Southampton and Manchester United, a draw at Hull and two wins over QPR and a shock win over Liverpool.
Team news and Burnley have a chunk of their squad possibly back after an array of injuries. Danny Ings and Michael Keane (both hamstring), Nathaniel Chalobah (throat), David Jones (thigh) and Kieran Trippier (ankle) are all expected back. However Dean Marney (hamstring) and Steven Reid (groin) are out alongside Matthew Taylor, who will undergo an operation on an achilles injury.
For the Hammers, Mark Noble is hopeful to return after a calf injury. New signing Enner Valencia is expected to play after returning from international duty with Ecuador. Unavailable players for West Ham include Guy Demel (thigh), Joey O'Brien (knee), Cheikhou Kouyate and James Collins (both groin) and Andy Carroll, who continues his recovery from an ankle injury.
West Ham must seize the opportunity to take their chances, but Burnley will be up for this one, seeing it as a winnable game.
