The London Stadium is the venue for a vital Premier League contest between two sides battling in the bottom half of the table as West Ham host Burnley for this Matchday 11 fixture. West Ham secured a massive morale-boosting win last weekend, but they still find themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone and are desperate to achieve back-to-back league victories for the first time this season. They face a Burnley side who, despite their manager’s pragmatic approach, have struggled to keep clean sheets but sit just one place and three points above the Hammers. This fixture is a true six-pointer that is expected to be fiercely contested, with the result having huge implications for the immediate survival hopes of both clubs.

Team Form and Analysis for West Ham
Domestic Form and Season Performance
West Ham United are currently enduring a highly turbulent season, occupying 18th position in the Premier League table with just 7 points from 10 matches. Their record stands at two wins, one draw, and seven defeats.
The Hammers ended a miserable six-game winless Premier League run (L5, D1) last weekend with an impressive 3-1 home victory over Newcastle United, marking the first win for manager Nuno Espírito Santo since his arrival. However, their position in the table remains precarious, and their defensive record is a major concern, having conceded 21 goals in 10 matches—one of the worst defensive tallies in the league. Their matches are consistently high-scoring affairs, highlighted by their high goals conceded average of 2.1 per match. West Ham’s attack, which has struggled to score consistently (10 goals scored), will be heavily reliant on their creative midfielders to exploit Burnley’s own defensive lapses, particularly from set-pieces.
Key Player: Lucas Paquetá
Brazilian international Lucas Paquetá is the undeniable creative and attacking talisman for West Ham. The midfielder delivered a man-of-the-match performance against Newcastle, scoring a stunning equaliser and constantly threatening the opposition defence. Paquetá is the team’s joint-top goalscorer with three league goals and one of their top chance creators. His ability to create something from nothing, coupled with his excellent ball-carrying and passing in the final third, makes him the player Burnley must contain to stand a chance of taking points from the London Stadium.
Team Form and Analysis for Burnley
Domestic Form and Season Performance
Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, are sitting just outside the relegation zone, occupying 17th position in the Premier League table with 10 points from 10 matches. Their record comprises three wins, one draw, and six defeats.
The Clarets head to London looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to league leaders Arsenal in their last league outing. This loss followed two crucial consecutive victories against Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Burnley’s success this season has been achieved despite a concerning defensive record, having conceded 19 goals in 10 matches. However, their attack has shown more promise than their hosts, scoring 12 goals this term. Manager Scott Parker, known for his pragmatic approach, has prioritized defensive organization, though replicating his record-breaking Championship clean sheet haul in the top flight has proven impossible. They will look to exploit West Ham’s known defensive fragilities, particularly their vulnerability from corners.
Key Player: Jaidon Anthony
Winger Jaidon Anthony has proven to be the most potent goal threat for Burnley this season. He leads the team’s goal-scoring charts with four league goals and has shown a knack for scoring important goals, including against Manchester United and Manchester City. Anthony’s pace and direct running will be the key offensive weapon for Burnley as they aim to unsettle West Ham’s shaky defence. His ability to deliver decisive finishes or set up chances from the flanks will determine whether Burnley can secure their second successive away victory.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The head-to-head record suggests a closely fought, albeit often goal-heavy, rivalry in recent history.

West Ham holds a significant edge in the recent Premier League meetings, being unbeaten in their last six top-flight matches against Burnley (W3, D3). They have not lost to The Clarets when scoring at least one goal since 2010. The most recent fixture in March 2024 ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the capital, a result that demonstrated both sides’ capacity to score. Four of the last five meetings between the two teams have featured over 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend of open, attacking football in this fixture.
Players to Watch
West Ham
Jarrod Bowen (Forward): The dynamic forward is a constant threat with his relentless running and clinical finishing. Bowen is joint-top scorer for West Ham with three goals, and his pace will be key in exploiting the space left behind by Burnley’s wing-backs.
Jean-Clair Todibo (Defender): The centre-back faces a crucial test in organizing a backline that has struggled badly this season. His composure and ability to deal with Burnley’s direct play and aerial threats will be essential for the Hammers to maintain a clean sheet.
Burnley
Quilindschy Hartman (Defender/Wing-Back): The Netherlands international has been an attacking force from the full-back position, leading the team in assists. His runs down the flank and delivery into the box will be a major source of chances for Burnley.
Lesley Ugochukwu (Midfielder): The powerful defensive midfielder provides much-needed protection to the Burnley back four. His physical presence and ball-winning ability in the centre of the pitch will be vital in stifling Paquetá’s influence and disrupting West Ham’s rhythm.
Prediction
This match is a high-stakes relegation scrap, but West Ham enters with the momentum of their crucial win over Newcastle and the psychological boost of a strong head-to-head record against Burnley. While West Ham’s defence remains a significant concern, Burnley’s struggles to secure results away from home and their tendency to concede (despite two recent wins) suggest they will find it difficult to contain the quality of Paquetá and Bowen. Expect a hard-fought and possibly high-scoring affair, with West Ham’s home advantage and renewed confidence tipping the scales in their favour.
Score Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Burnley
