West Ham Vs Burnley Preview
- Date: 10 March 2024
- Venue: London Stadium
- Kick-Off Time: 1:00 am GMT
After registering a 3-1 win over relegation battlers Everton at Goodison Park last weekend, West Ham have managed back-to-back victories following a rough patch of three consecutive defeats. With this weekend’s match also against a bottom side, a chance to climb into the top six is within reach.
Last week’s Merseyside victory meant David Moyes’ side propelled back to European positions, just two points behind sixth-place Manchester United. Moreover, the Hammers are building a reputation at home, having lost just one of their last eight matches. Starting this game as strong favorites could extend their home run with three points over struggling Burnley on Sunday.
Burnley’s season has been dreadful so far, with moving to safety seeming like an uphill battle. Securing just two points in their last nine away travels and losing four matches ahead of this weekend’s clash puts them in a dire situation. Everton’s ten-point deduction being reduced to six meant bad news for the Clarets, as Vincent Kompany’s side now lie 11 points away from safety with an inferior goal difference compared to the teams above them.
Next, they travel to the capital knowing only Sheffield United have picked up fewer points in their away games all season. Immediate results would only prevent the side from relegation to the Championship after just one season in the top flight.
West Ham Vs Burnley Team News
West Ham:
It’s all delight for the fans as Paqueta and Kudus are back and available, and could be part of the starting 11 despite the former not completing 90 minutes in any of the last two games he started. Even though things looked unscathed versus Everton, Moyes may prefer the same XI on Sunday. Ultimately, there could be changes after Freiburg’s game on Thursday.
Possible starting line-up: Areola; Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Bowen
Burnley:
On the other hand, Josh Brownhill’s three-match suspension means he could miss this game as well, so Josh Cullen will replace him in the middle alongside Sander Berge. Zeki Amdouni, Burnley’s joint-top goalscorer, was dropped last weekend and could return on Sunday.
Possible starting line-up: Trafford; Assignon, O’Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Larsen, Berge, Cullen, Odobert; Fofana, Amdouni
