Latest West Ham vs Burnley team news
West Ham are still without Niclas Füllkrug (thigh injury) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (muscle), both of whom are aiming to return after international duty. Oliver Scarles (shoulder), George Earthy (hamstring) and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (back) are also undergoing treatment.
Following his outstanding performance and Man of the Match award in his first Premier League start of the season against Newcastle, Freddie Potts is likely to continue partnering with Matheus Fernandes and Lucas Paquetá in midfield, although Tomas Soucek is also fiercely competing for a place in the starting lineup.
Callum Wilson – who has scored the most Premier League goals of his career against West Ham (12 goals) and Everton (8 goals) – also has an impressive record against Burnley (7 goals), including 6 goals in the last 4 matches. The 33-year-old striker is expected to partner Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville in attack.
On Burnley's side, Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Zeki Amdouni and Connor Roberts (both knee injuries) remain absent. However, manager Parker confirmed that centre-back Hjalmar Ekdal is "fine" despite a black eye sustained in training and is fit to play.
Jaidon Anthony is likely to retain his position on the left wing, while Loum Tchaouna, Marcus Edwards, and Jacob Bruun Larsen will compete for the starting spot on the right wing – with Tchaouna appearing to be the preferred choice.
Striker Lyle Foster, who missed the Arsenal game due to illness, has fully recovered and returned to full training this week, ready to start in place of Zian Fleming in attack.

Latest West Ham vs Burnley football match prediction
After a run of six winless Premier League matches, including five defeats, West Ham surprised many by coming from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 last weekend — securing their first home win in almost nine months.
Lucas Paquetá's stunning long-range strike leveled the score after Jacob Murphy's early opening goal, before Sven Botman scored an own goal to put the Hammers ahead just before halftime. In injury time of the second half, Tomas Soucek bravely scored the winning goal, giving the London Stadium fans a rare moment of celebration.
On the afternoon that West Ham fans staged a sit-in protest against the club's management after the match, manager Nuno Espírito Santo was still delighted with his first victory, which helped the team climb to 18th place in the table and close the gap to Burnley – their next opponent, who are currently 17th – to just three points.
Notably, more than half of West Ham's shots on target since Nuno took over have come from their win against Newcastle (9 of their 16 shots) — the most they've had in a single game against a non-newly promoted team since their match against Leeds United in May 2023.
West Ham have reason to be confident ahead of their trip to Burnley, as they are unbeaten in their last six Premier League encounters (3 wins, 3 draws). Furthermore, “The Hammers” have never lost to Burnley in 11 top-flight matches when they have scored at least one goal (8 wins, 3 draws) since their 1-2 defeat at Turf Moor in February 2010.
After two crucial victories against Leeds United (2-0) and Wolves (3-2), Burnley understood that earning points against league leaders Arsenal would be difficult, but the fans at Turf Moor could still be proud of their determined performance in the 0-2 defeat last weekend.
Manager Scott Parker was particularly pleased with how the team played in the second half, saying his players had "performed extremely well" since the start of the season and were "on the right track" in the fight to avoid relegation.
After 10 rounds, Burnley has the fewest shots in the Premier League this season (74), averaging only 7.4 shots per game – the lowest in a top-tier season since 1997-98. However, their conversion rate of chances into goals is 16.2%, the second highest in the league, only behind Tottenham (17.5%).
Parker, who made over 100 appearances for West Ham between 2007 and 2011, will be looking to help Burnley secure two consecutive away wins in the Premier League for the first time since the 2019-20 season. However, their away record against West Ham is not very impressive.
Specifically, Burnley have won only two of their last 11 away matches against West Ham in the Premier League (two draws, seven defeats) — with wins of 3-0 in March 2018 and 1-0 in July 2020 — and conceded a total of 20 goals during that period.
