A difficult match away to Burnley today. Many thought the Clarets might struggle having sold Michael Keane and Andre Gray, two of their best players last season. But young James Tarkowski has had an exceptional season in defence while new striker Chris Wood looks like a no-nonsense centre-forward who will score anywhere.
So plenty for Bilic to think about, with Burnley having gained more away points so far than in the whole of last season. However, they have struggled to break teams down at home, which might suit the Hammers.
There's still the question of who starts up front. Sakho has made a strong case for inclusion, while there are doubts about playing Carroll and Hernandez together — though there's no reason they can't play off each other if the service is right and they stick closer to the box than they did against Swansea. We have to hope that Lanzini provides the creativity West Ham have lacked so far and that Arnautovic returns to provide something muscular and different on the left. Come on you Irons!
