West Ham Utd. prepare to entertain Burnley at Boleyn Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hammers are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 7 of the 36 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boleyn Ground was less than a year ago, in October 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
