A crucial match known as a “relegation six-pointer” will take place at Turf Moor this Saturday. Burnley and West Ham United are both eager to close the gap to Premier League safety.
Burnley currently sits in 19th place, five points adrift, following a tough 3–0 loss against Sunderland. West Ham is six points behind Nottingham Forest after a narrow 3–2 defeat to Chelsea. The Hammers need to take advantage of Burnley’s weakened squad to regain their form. This game is a key chance for both teams to escape the relegation zone.

Defenders Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts also remain out. James Ward-Prowse is ineligible to face his parent club, but Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony are fit to spearhead the attack.
West Ham United

Burnley
Burnley has had a tough time at home, failing to win in eight straight matches at Turf Moor. They have given up the most goals in the first 10 minutes of any team in the league. After their recent 3–0 defeat to Sunderland, they need to find better finishing to end their 15-game winless streak.

This is the longest such streak in Europe’s top five leagues. They have scored eight goals within the first 15 minutes this season, and Callum Wilson has a strong record against Burnley, netting eight career goals.
