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.

The Hammers have a number of players from the defensive ranks set to miss out. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski should return, but Ryan Fredericks is a doubt, Issa Diop is coming back from injury, Fabian Balbuena is out and Arthur Masuaka is also injured.
Burnley are likely to again be without Charlie Taylor at full-back, but back-up goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is the only other injury worry.
WHU: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals; Antonio
BUR: Pope; Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Pieters; Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil; Barnes, Wood
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.
