Burnley v West Ham United (Turf Moor) 

Team news

Burnley

Burnley remain without Jonathan Walters, Nahki Wells and Dean Marney for West Ham’s visit to Turf Moor.

Marney, out since January with knee ligament damage, and recent arrival Wells (foot) are being phased into the Under 23 set-up to continue rehabilitation but are still some way from fitness.

Jonathan Walters Will be among Burnley’s absentees when they take on West Ham United

Walters is several weeks away with a knee problem, leaving Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes and Sam Vokes to contest the attacking roles.

Provisional squad: Pope, Lindegaard, Lowton, Long, Mee, Taylor, Ward, Tarkowski, Bardsley, Defour, Brady, Ulvestad, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, Arfield, Gudmundsson, Vokes, Barnes, Wood.

West Ham

James Collins is West Ham’s only absentee for Saturday’s trip to Burnley.

He suffered an ankle injury in last month’s 0-0 draw at West Brom, and though he will soon be available, Saturday’s fixture comes too early.

With Pedro Obiang and Edimilson Fernandes again in full training, manager Slaven Bilic’s only concern surrounds whether Javier Hernandez is sufficiently fresh to start following his return on Thursday from international duty with Mexico.

Provisional squad: Hart, Adrian, Byram, Zabaleta, Cresswell, Masuaku, Fonte, Reid, Obiang, Rice, Fernandes, Antonio, Noble, Lanzini, Kouyate, Ogbonna, Arnautovic, Ayew, Carroll, Hernandez, Sakho.

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

Burnley have lost five of their previous six Premier League encounters with West Ham United, winning the other clash at Turf Moor in February 2010 (2-1).

West Ham have won their last four Premier League matches against Burnley, they’ve only won five consecutive games versus a single opponent once in Premier League history (vs Blackburn between October 2006 and August 2008).

The Clarets are currently enjoying their longest ever unbeaten run in the Premier League (W2 D3 L0); they last went six top-flight games without defeat back in February 1975 (a seven-game streak).

West Ham will be looking to win consecutive Premier League games without conceding for the first time since December 2016, when they secured 1-0 victories over Burnley and Hull City.
