We’ve got team news coming up in just a few minutes, but for now click below for our predicted lineups.
Will Unwin
It certainly feels like Burnley are already down but a loss today will confirm it, even if Lancashire’s leading optimists will point to the mathematical possibilities between now and mid-May. They have not been good for many months, failing to win any of their past 15 Premier League games, and most recently getting brushed aside by Sunderland, thanks to an appalling performance that earned the ire of Scott Parker and Kyle Walker. The fans will be looking for a response and something to lift the gloom against West Ham, the team one place above them.
Things have improved under Nuno Espirito Santo but West Ham remain six points from safety. Losing against Burnley today would be an impressive new low, which is saying something considering the Hammers are the only team to have lost to rock-bottom Wolves. These are the games West Ham need to win if they are to chase down Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Crystal Palace but they have slipped up before.
Preamble
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to another Clockwatch! We’ve got five Premier League fixtures to look forward to, including the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. The Gunners host Sunderland as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Chelsea face last-placed Wolves at Molineux as they look to bounce back from their midweek Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal.
Elsewhere, title chasers Aston Villa travel to Bournemouth, Fulham take on Everton and Burnley host West Ham.
