Nuno Espírito Santo has officially pulled the rabbit out of the hat at West Ham United, it’s two wins from two and the first time the Hammers have won back-to-back Premier League games since Wolves & Manchester United back in December 2023.

A simple crash-bang job was completed against the blundering Burnley side, but that task didn’t always seem easy to achieve, especially after they took the lead… but it non-typical Hammers fashion, we fought back and loose your Will-son scored to bring us level.

West Ham: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Diouf, Kilman, Todibo, Potts, Fernandes, Paqueta, Bowen (C), Summerville, Wilson
Subs: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Igor, Guilherme, Rodriguez, Golambeckis, Magassa, Soucek, Irving

Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman, Florentino, Cullen (C), Anthony, Ugochukwu, Flemming, Tchaouna
Subs: Weib, Bruun Larson, Foster, Edwards, Eldal, Pires, Broja, Hannibal, Laurent

The classic Christmas Premier League theory entails that if you’re in or lurking near the bottom three come Christmas time, you tend to be a goner.

If you take the previous two seasons and look at the table by Christmas, five of the six teams in the drop zone would get relegated, the only outlier being Wolves last season, who were on 12 points with 17 games played, Leicester who were two points above them, would fall victim to the drop.
