Pre-Match Press:

West Ham United Manager Slaven Bilic bullish ahead of his side's return home to London Stadium:

"We need to beat Burnley. We need points, we have a huge respect for them," he said.

"We’ve been waiting for these couple of games. We’ve been talking about tough games for four games running. Spurs, Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool is very difficult on paper and we were hoping to get something out of them.

"We were waiting to get through that period. It’s come now. We are thinking about Burnley and have a good chance and have to show our determination, quality and determination together. We have to beat them."

Burnley defender Stephen Ward emphasised the danger of facing West Ham United, the hosts having secured a point at Anfield on Sunday.
