FIVE minutes until kick-off! It's West Ham versus Burnley, and it's NEXT!

You just never know which Burnley will turn up, though. If you ignore their thrashing at the hands of Man City, Burnley are unbeaten since the resumption of football.
17:50
West Ham, with their squad and the money they've spent, should not be in this position. But hey, that's life. They ought to be safe and another couple of wins will secure their status.

Burnley can move to within a point of seventh placed Arsenal with victory today; West Ham will remain 16th with maximum points but move seven clear of the drop.

Dyche has lost two of his better players in Mee and Cork - and there's not much in reserve. Burnley still have a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa League next season, but would they want it? Their squad is too threadbare and we saw how Thursday night football affected their league campaign last year.

However, the Clarets have won three of their last five Premier League away games (D1 L1), as many as they had in their previous 16 on the road (W3 D4 L9).
17:34
West Ham have only lost two of their last 14 home matches against Burnley and they will look to build on their impressive record this evening. Moyes seems to have found the right system at the business end of the season, with Michail Antonio, playing in a number nine role, shining brightest.
17:31
Burnley are unchanged as centre-back Kevin Long continues to stand in for Ben Mee, who may miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury. It's feared Jack Cork may not be available until next term either after he suffered an ankle injury.
