What is the team news?
Burnley could welcome Ashley Barnes back into the side for the first time since February after recovering from a thigh problem. The Austrian was on the bench against Wolves last weekend but did not play, so he could be fit enough to play a part against West Ham. Johann Berg Gudmundsson is also in line to return, but Kevin Long and Robbie Brady remain out.
West Ham are set to be boosted by the return of Declan Rice from a knee injury. The midfielder has missed the past four games after picking up the injury while on international duty with England, and the Hammers have been fragile in defence ever since. Arthur Masuaku could also return, while defenders Craig Dawson and Fabian Balbuena are available. Striker Michail Antonio remains out with a hamstring injury.
Possible line-ups
Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Wood, Vydra
West Ham: Fabianski; Coufal, Diop, Dawson, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Rice, Soucek, Fornals; Lingard, Bowen
Odds
Burnley: 19/10
Draw: 5/2
West Ham: 11/8
Prediction
While Burnley are flying after their 4-0 win at Wolves last week, West Ham will be boosted by the return of Rice and are desperate for three points to keep their fight for European qualification alive. Burnley will cause them problems, but West Ham should have enough to get the win. Burnley 1-2 West Ham
