Hammers begin Premier League return bid with tricky trip to Turf Moor

West Ham get their Championship campaign under way against Burnley today. The Hammers are on the road at Turf Moor in a potentially tough opening to their first second-tier season for 14 years, with both sides aiming to bounce straight back to the Premier League. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side head to Lancashire with confidence as their transfer business finally picks up and after they toppled Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup last weekend.

Arne Engels was signed too late from Celtic to be considered for a swift debut this afternoon, while West Ham are without Tomas Soucek and Keiber Lamadrid due to injury. However, Nuno still has a very strong squad at his disposal including new arrivals Manor Solomon and Joel Veltman plus captain Jarrod Bowen, who is staying put for at least another year. New Burnley boss Nicky Hayen has few fresh fitness issues to contend with, though he is still missing a handful of long-term absentees including Jordan Beyer and Josh Cullen.

The Clarets completed the loan signing of Chelsea youngster Dastan Satpayev on Friday, though he is not involved as Max Alleyne makes his first appearance. Follow Burnley vs West Ham live below!
