Burnley
- Burnley have not won any of their last five Premier League games (D3, L2).
- Burnley are looking to establish a very different identity under Scott Parker, who took charge in July 2024, preferring to be proactive, win the ball back high up the field and dominate possession.
- The Clarets have a good chance to build some momentum on Saturday, having not lost either of their last two games at Turf Moor (D2), although they did have to fight back to get a point in their previous home game against Tottenham Hotspur.
West Ham
- West Ham’s away form in the Premier League has mirrored Burnley’s poor home form for most of the campaign with the Hammers winning two, drawing four and losing six of their 12 away games (W2, D4, L6).
- Nuno Espirito Santo has overseen an immediate change in West Ham’s approach since taking charge in September 2025, with his pragmatic side happy to sit deep and defend compactly before looking to hurt their opponents with quick and vertical attacks.
Head-to-Head
- West Ham have won two and drawn one of their last three league meetings with Burnley, including a 3-2 home win two months ago.
- West Ham have beaten Burnley at the London Stadium in the reverse fixture and could repeat the trick on Saturday, although the hosts may be able to get on the scoreboard.
Key Players
- Crysencio Summerville is red-hot for West Ham right now with three of their last seven Premier League goals coming via his boots over the past five games.
- Jarrod Bowen is on eight goals for the season in 24 Premier League appearances.
- Jaidon Anthony leads the line for Burnley with five goals in 23 appearances in the top-flight in 2025-26 and will be his team’s biggest threat on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have the visitors available at 2.16 to win the match, with Burnley priced up at 3.25 and the draw available at 3.35.
- The visitors have conceded 22 goals on the road in 2025-26, which averages out at 1.83 goals per away game.
- Both Teams To Score looks like a great bet here at 2.05, given that both teams have leaky defences.
Prediction
- West Ham have a better record in the Premier League than Burnley in 2025-26 and have the better of the record between the two clubs over the last few years, so they will be favored here despite the Clarets’ improvement under Parker.
- But with West Ham’s superior counter-attacking abilities, the advantage may just be with Nuno’s men.
