A high-stakes relegation six-pointer will take center stage at Turf Moor this Saturday. Burnley and West Ham are both desperate to close the growing gap to Premier League safety.
With just one place separating the two sides and five points adrift of the bottom three, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Burnley went into the weekend in 19th place after a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Sunderland. Meanwhile, West Ham United are six points behind Nottingham Forest after losing 3-2 to Chelsea. The Hammers must capitalize on a severely depleted Burnley side to regain momentum. This game represents a huge opportunity to escape the bottom three.
