If they rock up and play in the manner they did when they beat Newcastle United here last week, then there is only one winner – but will we see Nuno Espirito Santo’s side play with that same intensity?
I thought Freddie Potts did well on his first senior start against the Magpies, Lucas Paqueta was at his mercurial best, and Jarrod Bowen impressed me with his strong running.
But the problem here is that this is exactly the kind of game where you expect West Ham to win and they mess it up.
Burnley are awkward opponents and they have got a bit about them.
They are nothing like the open and expansive side under Vincent Kompany a few years back. There was a softness about that Clarets side, which simply isn’t there any more.
So West Ham are going to have to work hard to win this – and maybe Callum Wilson holds the key. He was a nuisance last time out and it meant Bowen did not have to carry the team.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
