West Ham United v Burnley
Premier League, London Stadium, Saturday 8 November 2025, 3pm GMT
West Ham United will be eager to follow up last weekend's impressive 3-1 victory over Newcastle United when we entertain Burnley at London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Lucas Paquetá and Tomáš Souček strikes, either side of a Sven Botman own-goal, earned the Hammers a first home win of the season against the Magpies, and first under Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo, breeding momentum ahead of the last clash before the November international break.
The players have been hard at work at Rush Green all week as we look to register back-to-back league triumphs for the first time since February, with the newly-promoted Clarets, who currently sit one spot and three points above the 18th-place Irons, themselves aiming to seal a second successive away win.
Managed by former West Ham midfielder Scott Parker, Burnley were beaten just twice and conceded only 16 goals en route to 100 points and promotion from the EFL Championship last term, while so far back in the top flight they have delivered three wins, one draw and six defeats.
Saturday's clash will be our dedicated Remembrance fixture, while the Premier League's high-visibility yellow football will be used for the first time this season.

Remembrance Fixture...
West Ham United will honour those who bravely laid down their lives for us with a series of poignant Remembrance activities around Saturday’s Premier League fixture with Burnley.
Before the match, the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal will hold bucket collections and will be selling poppies around London Stadium.
A large poppy will cover the centre-circle throughout the warm-ups while members of the Armed Forces and representatives from Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, will provide a Guard of Honour in front of the Billy Bonds Stand and West Stand.
Blesma veteran Matty Woollard, who lost his right leg whilst serving in Afghanistan, will also speak to his fellow West Ham supporters about the importance of marking Remembrance Day and the work done by the charity and Royal British Legion in supporting veterans and their loved ones.
The Royal British Legion Band & Corps of Drums, based in Romford, will entertain the crowd with a selection of war-time tunes.
Wreaths will be laid by representatives of both clubs before kick-off. Bugler Osman Dervish will sound The Last Post before London Stadium falls silent to pay tribute to the fallen.
The Hammers will wear shirts emblazoned with a poppy which will be auctioned post-match to raise funds for charity. Further details will be communicated on whufc.com in due course.
We Are West Ham. United...
West Ham United has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. Equality, equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the Club and we are committed to ensuring that everyone feels welcome to attend our fixtures in a safe environment.
Any form of discriminatory behaviour or chanting, including homophobic chanting, is unacceptable; it has no place in football and has serious criminal consequences. West Ham United will take the strongest possible action against any individual found to be engaging in such behaviour, including potential lifetime bans and referral to the police.
The Club can also face disciplinary action if any of its supporters are found to have engaged in this behaviour, which is not representative of the West Ham United fanbase and will not be tolerated by the Club. Indeed, the Club was recently fined £120,000 and imposed with an action plan after fans engaged in discriminatory chanting during the 2024/25 season.
As well as fines, the FA can also impose sanctions such as a partial or full stadium closure. This sanction could be imposed on West Ham United if a section of supporters engage in discriminatory chanting in the 2025/26 or 2026/27 seasons.
West Ham United provides a number of support mechanisms on matchday to ensure that supporters can report any incidents discreetly and in confidence. To report any incidents during a match, you can speak with the nearest steward or Supporter Liaison Officer, or text our new reporting line on 07701 401966. You can also contact West Ham United at [email protected]. Please provide as much information as possible, including the stand, row, seat number, description of the offender and incident.
We believe that the overwhelming majority of West Ham United supporters share these values and will work with us to continue to protect the Club’s status as an equity leader in the Premier League, a position recognised and acknowledged through our award and continuous retention of the Advanced level Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Standard - the league’s highest accolade attainable in this area. Anyone attending matches who does not share these values, does not share the diverse and inclusive values that West Ham United and our community stand for.

Team News…
Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo will hold his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon, at which he may confirm his team news for Saturday's game.
Full-back Ollie Scarles will be absent after recently undergoing surgery to repair a broken collarbone suffered at Leeds United late last month, while centre-back Dinos Mavropanos and forward Niclas Füllkrug (both leg) have missed the Hammers' last two and three matches respectively through injury.
Young midfielder George Earthy is available for selection again, having featured in the U21s' last two fixtures after recovering from an injury suffered in training.
For Burnley, Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts and Jordan Beyer are all set to be absent.
Opposition…
Burnley will be hoping the string on their proverbial yo-yo is cut come the end of the 2025/26 season.
The Clarets have gone down, up, down again and up again in each of the previous four seasons, alternating seasons of struggle in the Premier League with seasons of dominance in the EFL Championship.
In 76 Premier League games in 2021/22 and 2023/24, Burnley won just 12 and lost 41.
In 92 Championship matches in 2022/23 and 2024/25, Burnley won 57 and lost just five.
The contrast between those records illustrates the gulf in quality between the two divisions, and the difficulty promoted teams now have trying to stay in the best league in the world.
It is not as if Burnley have not invested in attempting to bridge the gap, appointing former Manchester City and Belgium captain Vincent Kompany as manager in the summer of 2022.
Kompany led a free-scoring, free-flowing Burnley to promotion in his first season, only to find his approach was not anywhere near as effective when he did not have superior players to many of the opponents his team faced.
Kompany departed in the summer of 2024 to join Bayern Munich, where he has excelled.
Into his seat in the Turf Moor dugout moved former West Ham United and England midfielder Scott Parker, who had previously led both Fulham and AFC Bournemouth to promotion from the Championship playing an altogether more pragmatic style of football.
Parker’s first season as Burnley manager was historic. His team conceded just 16 goals in 46 league matches, kept 30 clean sheets and incredibly did not concede more than one goal in a single game once.
Repeating that record-breaking defensive record in the Premier League was never going to be achievable, so Parker’s challenge now is to maintain a strong back line while working out a way to score enough goals to win enough matches to stay up.
The Lancashire club’s American owners certainly backed him in the transfer market, bringing in 14 players, including England full-back Kyle Walker, talented attacking midfielder Marcus Edwards from Sporting Lisbon, Netherlands international full-back Quilindschy Hartman from Feyenoord, French pair Lesley Ugochukwu and Loum Tchaouna from Chelsea and Lazio respectively, and Albania striker Armando Broja from Chelsea. Burnley also brought back former loanee, Denmark winger Jacob Bruun Larsen, on a permanent basis.
It will take time for the new-look team to gel, but time is something Premier League managers and clubs do not get, so Parker will need to show all his determination and tenacity to cut that yo-yo string and keep Burnley in the Premier League.
Previous Meetings…
West Ham meet Burnley for the 19th time in the Premier League on Saturday, and the first since the 2023/24 campaign.
The Hammers are unbeaten in the last six meetings between the two clubs, winning three and drawing the other three.
In total, West Ham have won eight of those top-flight fixtures since that first meeting in 2009, when we triumphed in an eight-goal thriller 5-3 at the Boleyn Ground. The most recent head-to-head, at London Stadium in March 2024, ended in a 2-2 draw, thanks to a late Danny Ings equaliser. The teams' meeting at Turf Moor earlier that season was similarly dramatic, with Tomáš Souček netting an injury-time winner.
Burnley did complete the Premier League double over West Ham in 2019/20, winning 3-0 at Turf Moor in November 2019 and 1-0 at London Stadium in July, but we got our revenge by completing our own double the following season, winning 1-0 in east London in January before securing a 2-1 success at Turf Moor in May.
