TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

In round 10, West Ham produced a strong 3-1 victory over Newcastle, with goals from Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, and an own goal helping them on their way. The win was not only vital for the team but also marked Nuno Espírito Santo’s first triumph as Hammers boss. 

His side looked far more organised, defending deep and breaking swiftly through the lively Crysencio Summerville — a promising blueprint for games ahead. Known for sparking quick turnarounds, Nuno will hope this victory sets the tone for a revival.

Stats that matter 

1. Despite having just 38% possession in the game, West Ham had 10 shots on target.
2. The Hammers have conceded nine goals from corners this season, the most by any side.
3. Over half of the shots (10/16) on target that West Ham have had in the league this season came under Nuno Espirito in the league came in the last match. 

Team News: Just like last week, West Ham will be without Konstantinos Mavropanos, Oliver Scarles, and Niclas Füllkrug, all sidelined through injury. 

West Ham Probable XI - Hermansen (GK); Diouf, Maximilian Kilman, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka (Defenders); Potts, Paqueta, Fernandes (Midfielders);  Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, Wilson  ( Forwards)

Burnley FC Preview

Burnley were second best against Arsenal, barely seeing the ball and managing just one shot on target as the Gunners dominated throughout. But the Clarets’ focus was never on upsetting the big guns — it’s about winning the games that matter and stay afloat in the league. With victories over Sunderland, Leeds, and Wolves, plus a draw with Nottingham Forest, they’ll fancy their chances against a struggling West Ham side stuck in the relegation zone.

Stats that matter 

1. Burnley have had the fewest shots in the Premier League this season (74) with an average of 7.4 shots per game.
2. Quilindschy Hartman has assisted in each of his last three away Premier League matches (4 assists).
3. Burnley have conceded the joint most penalties (3) this season. 

Team News : Burnley have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash, with only long-term absentees Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts remaining sidelined for the weekend.

Burnley Probable XI - Dubravka (GK); Kyle Walker, M Esteve, H Ekdal, Hartman, Ekdal (Defenders); L Tchaouna, Josh Cullen, F. Luis,J Anthony (Midfielders);  Xian Flemming (Forward). 

WEST HAM UNITED FC vs BURNLEY FC
Winning Prediction

West Ham’s home form has been poor, with four losses in their last five games at the London Stadium. However, their impressive win over Newcastle could mark a turning point. Add to that their unbeaten run against Burnley in six Premier League meetings, and the momentum seems to be shifting — making the Hammers favourites to take all three points this time.

Unsurprisingly, the bookmakers have backed West Ham as favourites for this clash. One site lists the Hammers at 2.03 for the win, while Burnley sit at 4.05, with a draw priced at 3.61 — reflecting the home side’s edge heading into the game.
