West Ham play host to Burnley at Boleyn Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hammers are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 7 of the 33 games.
The last time the two teams met at West Ham was amazingly over twenty years ago, in September 1979, the Hammers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Second Division match.
