Team news

Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna are both expected to miss out. Left-back Aaron Cresswell, suspended for the Europa League trip to Lyon, should return to the starting 11.

Burnley
Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Ben Mee are likely to miss out while Erik Pieters is a doubt.

Match preview

In the same week West Ham reached their first European semi-final since 1976, Sean Dyche was dismissed by Burnley after nearly a decade in charge at Turf Moor and these claret-clad clubs are heading in opposite directions.

Winning the Europa League will surely now be the focus for David Moyes but the Hammers are still in the race for the European places in the Premier League, whereas Burnley are long odds-on for relegation.

The atmosphere around the London Stadium is bound to be jubilant, and it is hard to make a case for Burnley dampening the party mood given that they have lost five of their last six league matches to nil.

Captain Ben Mee and the Clarets' Under-23s coaching staff will take charge at West Ham but another damaging defeat looks on the cards as the spectre of relegation looms large.

Key stat

Burnley have managed only three wins in 14 league matches in 2022.
