Improving West Ham should beat Burnley

Premier League
3pm Saturday

West Ham have gone four games without victory since upsetting Manchester United at the end of September but look a fair price to rediscover the winning formula at home to Burnley.

Only goal difference separates the pair but the early-season fixture list has been much tougher on the Hammers, who have yet to face a side in the bottom six.

Burnley are failing to match last season’s heroics and their defeats at Fulham and Wolves, plus their fortunate 2-1 win at Cardiff where they lost the shot count 20 to three, suggest they may struggle.
