Burnley News and Form
Burnley’s poor season continued on Boxing Day as Everton tore them apart 5-1 at Turf Moor. That was Burnley’s third straight defeat in the EPL. They have actually lost six of their last seven league games played and are looking in big trouble. Overall this season in the Premier League Turf Moor has been far from a fortress for them, as they have posted a W2 D1 L6 record there. They have suffered a loss in four of their last five home games (W1). Burnley have only come up with the ten home goals all season. In total, they have shipped 20 goals which is an average of 2.22 per game at home this season.
67% of their league fixtures at Turf Moor have ended over 2.5 goals which is down to their defensive weaknesses largely. The Clarets haven’t drawn any of their last seven league games now. They have scored 70% of their home goals in the first half of matches and just one side have a worse home record this term than Burnley do. That is bottom side Huddersfield. Only Fulham have conceded more league goals than Burnley this season in the EPL. The Clarets have conceded the opening goal in five of their nine home games. Can they stop the rot to end the year on a high?

They are on a three-match winning streak away from home and have gone undefeated in five on the road. In total, they have produced 13 away goals this season which has helped them to an overall road record for the season of W4 D2 L3. 33% of West Ham’s away games this season have gone over 3.5 goals. They do only have the two clean sheets on their travels though.
West Ham have found the back of the net in each of their last five away games in the Premier League, so that is a very positive trend.

In five of their nine away games, this season West Ham have scored the opening goal in five of them. In the last eight games, only Liverpool and Spurs have earned more points than West Ham.
