WEDNESDAY AT THE LONDON STADIUM



West Ham vs Burnley



West Ham and Burnley meet at London Stadium on Wednesday in a match that could have major implications at both ends of the Premier League table.

For West Ham, a win would move them a step closer to securing their Europa League place for next season.

Burnley, meanwhile, are fighting for survival. They are currently 18th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. A defeat could see them drop into the bottom three.

It is sure to be a close match between two evenly matched teams. West Ham have the home advantage, but Burnley will be desperate for points.

West Ham will be without Michail Antonio, who is suspended. Burnley will be without Ashley Barnes, who is injured.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm BST.

Key Battle

The key battle in this match will be between West Ham's Michail Antonio and Burnley's James Tarkowski.

Antonio is a powerful striker who has scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season. Tarkowski is a strong defender who has been in good form for Burnley this season.

If Antonio can get the better of Tarkowski, then West Ham will have a good chance of winning the match. However, if Tarkowski can keep Antonio quiet, then Burnley will be in with a chance of getting a result.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call. Both teams are evenly matched and both teams have something to play for.

However, I think that West Ham will just edge it. They have the home advantage and they have been in better form than Burnley in recent weeks.

Predicted score: West Ham 2-1 Burnley
