West Ham continue to be the Premier League’s surprise package but if they are to remain genuine challengers for a top-four spot then David Moyes will consider three points against a struggling Burnley side as an absolute must. Moyes enjoyed the luxury of resting all his first-choice players against Dynamo Zagreb on Thursday, with Europa League qualification already secured, but will be missing Kurt Zouma and Ben Johnson after they picked up injuries in last weekend’s thrilling win over Chelsea. Burnley have failed to score in their last two games so will be hoping Maxwel Cornet overcomes a thigh injury to feature. Stephen Hollis
