Burnley vs West Ham United – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

A high-stakes “relegation six-pointer” takes centre stage at Turf Moor this Saturday. Both Burnley and West Ham United are desperate to bridge the widening gap to Premier League safety.

Separated by just one place and five points in the bottom three, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Burnley enter the weekend in 19th place after a sobering 3–0 defeat at Sunderland. Meanwhile, West Ham sit six points behind Nottingham Forest following an agonising 3–2 loss at Chelsea. The Hammers must capitalise on a heavily depleted Burnley squad to regain momentum. This fixture represents a massive opportunity to escape the bottom three.

Team News

Burnley

Scott Parker is navigating a significant injury crisis with six key players potentially sidelined. Midfielders Josh Cullen (ACL) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are major absentees. Defensive duo Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts also remain unavailable. Furthermore, James Ward-Prowse is ineligible to face his parent club. Notably, Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony remain fit to lead the attack.

West Ham United

The Hammers boast a nearly clean bill of health regarding injuries. However, Jean-Clair Todibo is serving a three-match suspension following a red card against Chelsea. January loan signing Axel Disasi could make his debut in central defence. Notably, Crysencio Summerville enters the match in scintillating form. He has scored in four consecutive games across all competitions.

Form

Burnley

The Clarets have struggled at home, failing to win in eight consecutive matches at Turf Moor. Notably, Burnley have conceded a league-high six goals in the first 10 minutes. They recently suffered a heavy 3–0 loss to Sunderland. The team has scored in all but two of their 32 home games against West Ham. Consequently, they will rely on clinical finishing to break their 15-game winless run.

West Ham United

West Ham remain unbeaten in their last seven league meetings with Burnley. Notably, the Hammers have failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 consecutive league matches. This represents the longest such run in Europe’s top five leagues. Despite this, they have scored eight goals in the opening 15 minutes this season. Callum Wilson also has a clinical record against Burnley, scoring eight career goals.
