With Tottenham Hotspur getting back to winning ways on Thursday evening with a comfortable Europa League Group victory over LASK, it was all eyes back to the Premier League campaign as we make the trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Monday evening.
You know exactly what to expect from Sean Dyche’s side – they will be tough, niggly, organised and they will look to break up the improvements we’ve seen in our attacking play of late. With that said, as long as we stay tight at the back and defend set pieces well, we have enough pace and talent to break them open and then it’s just a question of whether or not, we make it count.
Manager Jose Mourinho will undoubtedly rotate the first team squad again in an effort to keep things fresh, but despite getting his first start in midweek, Gareth Bale will likely be back on the bench as we continue slowly building his fitness after injury.
When all is said and done (and with respect), this should be all three points on paper but Burnley won’t make it easy, and West Ham proved we often don’t make it easy for ourselves.
