Burnley will be looking to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they host West Ham United at Turf Moor. Sean Dyche's side have drawn their last three Premier League matches against Everton, Southampton and Brighton. They remain unbeaten in 2021 so far but will see this game as an opportunity to pick up three crucial points.
The Clarets have played well in those draws without yet finding a goal to secure victory. Chris Wood and Matej Vydra have led the line admirably but neither have managed to break their duck in 2021 so far. Ashley Barnes is still out injured so Dyche may look to summer signing Jay Rodriguez for more of a goal threat. The returned of England international James Tarkowski from suspension is also a boost to the defence.
For West Ham, it has been an impressive season so far under David Moyes. They arrived at Turf Moor sitting 8th in the table, within striking distance of the European places. However, the Hammers have won just one of their last five in the league which will concern Moyes. A defeat here combined with other results could see them overtaken in the standings.
Michail Antonio has been in superb form, carrying a real goal threat and working tirelessly for the team. But alongside him, Moyes is still trying to solve where the goals will come from on a consistent basis with Sebastien Haller yet to truly fire. West Ham's defence has been sound for the most part, keeping five clean sheets so far this term. Tomas Soucek has added steel and guile to the midfield.
Both teams will set up in a well-organised 4-4-2 formation looking to exploit space in behind the opposing full-backs. It promises to be an even, hard-fought contest.類 The outcome could come down to which set of strikers can find the breakthrough. West Ham will prove difficult opponents but Burnley's strength at home may give them the edge to pick up three points. Final score prediction: Burnley 1-0 West Ham United. - https://livesport365.live/match/burnley-vs-west-ham-united-1629318642.html
