West Ham United will welcome Burnley to the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

West Ham suffered a 2-0 defeat at Brentford in their last league outing. However, they bounced back to secure an impressive 3-0 win at Lyon to book their place in the UEFA Europa League semifinals.

The London club are still in contention for at least a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. However, to achieve the same, they will need to avoid dropping points in their remaining fixtures.

Burnley, meanwhile, parted ways with Sean Dyche on Friday and will look to kick off the post-Dyche era with a win. They failed to build on their 3-2 win over Everton, falling to a 2-0 loss at last-placed Norwich City last time around.
