Since claiming their only top-flight win of the season away at fellow promoted side Luton Town in early October.

Burnley have suffered five straight league defeats and have conceded 14 goals in the process.

At Arsenal in their most recent fixture before the international break – not since 1895 have Burnley lost six successive top-flight games.

Many clubs would welcome a return to home soil, but Burnley have failed to satisfy the Turf Moor faithful this season having lost all six home matches.

By an aggregate score of 18-5; defeat to West Ham on Saturday would see them become just the second-ever English team to lose their first seven league games on their own patch after Newport County in the fourth tier in 1970-71.

All hope is not lost for Burnley just yet, though, as victory this weekend could see them climb out of the relegation zone if other results go their way.

although they do come up against a West Ham side whom they have failed to beat in their last four meetings.
