When they walk out at the London Stadium on Sunday, Burnley will have to come to terms with the cruel reality of life without Sean Dyche. Burnley fans will be left wondering whether the shiny suits at ALK Capital, for all the outward confidence of their rictus grins, have made a terrible mistake. West Ham may be coming off the back of an impressive Europa League win against Lyon but they have been inconsistent in the league recently, alternating between wins and losses for their past six games. They lost to Brentford last time out, however, so it follows that Burnley could make a difficult start to the post-Dyche era. Will Magee
