West Ham will look to get their
European challenge back on track when struggling Burnley arrive at the London Stadium on Sunday, April 17.
The Hammers' bid to finish in the top four is slowly slipping away after a third defeat in five matches left them in sixth place, six points shy of Tottenham, who have a game in hand.

David Moyes' side were beaten 2-0 by Brentford away from home last weekend, but the Scot feels they have the temperament to respond in a positive way against the Clarets.
"I'm sure we'll get them up again. We'll push them on and drive them on. We're not going to give up all the good work we've put in," Moyes said.
"We've got the mentality that we have to try and win games like today's. We have to try and find extra resources to do it and I just didn't think we had that today."
The Lancashire outfit remain entrenched in the relegation mire after losing 2-0 to rock-bottom Norwich at the weekend.
Sean Dyche's team had the opportunity to close within one point of 17th-placed Everton after beating them 3-2 the previous week, but instead find themselves four adrift of safety.

Dyche lamented another game where the Clarets failed to take their chances, but has urged his players to stay positive and keep battling to avoid the drop.
"We've had to protect the players as it's been a three-game week, but it's important that we regroup and focus on recovery for the next game," he said.
"We think we've missed a chance today, and it's our story of the season, creating chances, getting into areas but not taking them.
"We can't have any fear and that's the next step, and we've got to use the freedom in these next eight games."
