West Ham team news
Jean-Clair Todibo is suspended following his red card against Chelsea last weekend. Max Kilman could partner with Konstantinos Mavropanos at center-back in the absence of Todibo. However, the Hammers do have the new signing, Axel Disasi, now available. Given that Disasi has not played first-team soccer this season, it would be unlikely that Nuno Espirito Santo will start him in this fixture.
Burnley team news
Scott Parker's side has a few players missing. Josh Cullen will not be able to face his former side. James Ward-Prowse, who is now on loan at the Clarets from West Ham, will be ineligible. Jordan Beyer, Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts, and Mike Tresor are also injured.
Burnley vs West Ham lineups

Predicted Burnley lineup vs West Ham: Dubravka; Tuanzebe, Esteve, Humphreys; Walker, Ugochukwu, Florentino, Pires; Edwards, Anthony, Foster
Burnley vs West Ham prediction
This is a six-pointer for both sides as they are in the relegation zone. Parker's side was built on a solid defence in the Championship last season. However, with a goal difference of -22, the Clarets have struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League. Parker fought many relegation battles as a player with West Ham, but is now looking to claim three points against them.
Despite losing to Chelsea last weekend, the Hammers showed promise by going two goals up. This, along with the back-to-back wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland before visiting Stamford Bridge, will give the Hammers optimism.
West Ham tend to step up against stronger opposition, but then lose to teams they should beat. They lost 3-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers and 2-1 to Nottingham Forest before they defeated Spurs. You never know which West Ham will turn up, but they should defeat Burnley if it is their day. I will go for a 2-1 win for the Hammers.
