Is West Ham vs Burnley on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

All you need to know ahead of the weekend clash

Burnley will seek to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they visit West Ham United on Saturday. The Clarets were dogged, but ultimately disappointing, in their home defeat to Manchester United during the week, leaving them two places above the relegation zone.

Despite that, they have won three of the last six in league play and are unlikely to hold too many longer-term fears about the drop - though Sean Dyche will expect more attacking intent from his side in matches such as this one.

It won’t be easy against West Ham, though, with David Moyes’ team having kept clean sheets in back-to-back league games, including the recent 1-0 win over Everton.

Both teams are into the FA Cup fourth round, too, and for West Ham there’s plenty of speculation as to where they might spend money during the January transfer window after concluding the £20 million sale of Sebastien Haller to Ajax. A home victory will temporarily lift Moyes’ side up to eighth in the table, while Burnley could rise to 15th - but only if they rack up the goals as well as the three points, which seems improbable.

Prediction

The Hammers are playing without pressure and might sense an opportunity to go for the kill against a Burnley team with limited attacking intent in midweek, but the Clarets have been slowly improving after a terrible start and the spoils could be shared here. West Ham 1-1 Burnley.
