Sunday's 'offering' was well below par as Hammers struggled to break down a resolute Burnley defence in the totally uninspiring 0-0 draw up at Turf Moor, profligacy in front of goal didn't help matters as chance after chance was squandered. The hectic schedule ALL clubs are facing is having the effect many feared would happen, namely that the large clubs with huge squads would cope much better, so it has proved.

Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Mee (c), Tarkowski, Taylor, McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Gudmundsson, Wood, Rodriguez Subs: Hennessey (GK), Pieters, Bardsley, Long, Collins, Brownhill, Lennon, Thomas, Vydra
West Ham: Fabiański, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Masuaku, Rice ©, Souček, Bowen, Lanzini, Benrahma, Antonio Subs: Areola, Ashby, Baptiste, Alese, Noble, Král, Vlašić, Fornals, Yarmolenko

Hammers fans looking at the Premier League table should be wary of adding a further three points to the club's current tally of twenty seven as a matter of fact, Sunday's opponents Burnley are already embroiled in a relegation dog fight and will be looking to get themselves out of a hole by getting a positive result.

Speaking of 'positive results', Burnley's players will have benefited from NOT having played their game with Tottingham last week due to a Covid outbreak among Conti's players and staff, as well as NOT being involved in any other competition.
