Nuno Espirito Santo could reward Tomas Soucek after an excellent cameo against Newcastle United last Sunday. <\/p>\n
West Ham\u2019s 3-1 win over Newcastle in the Premier League<\/a> was the first of the Nuno era. <\/p>\n Indeed, Newcastle\u2019s lacklustre performance left Alan Shearer baffled<\/a> as the Hammers dominated from beginning to end. <\/p>\n Following their stunning victory, Nuno will want to minimise West Ham\u2019s relegation chances<\/a> with a victory at the London Stadium against Burnley on 8 November. <\/p>\n West Ham signed Kyle Walker-Peters<\/a> as a free agent over the summer, but the right-back has since accepted a peripheral rotational role. <\/p>\n Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> put in a shift against the Magpies: <\/p>\n He won 100 per cent of his tacklesWan-Bissaka won 50 per cent of his ground and aerial duelsHe committed one foul<\/p>\n The versatile full-back also made nine clearances and three recoveries, according to Sofascore<\/a>. <\/p>\n However, fans would\u2019ve had no complaints about Walker-Peters\u2019 11-minute cameo, where he made one clearance and recovery. <\/p>\n After a solid performance from Wan-Bissaka, Nuno could look to rest and replace him with Walker-Peters<\/a> against the Clarets. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Igor Julio<\/a> could replace Jean-Clair Todibo<\/a> at centre-back, while El Hadji Malick Diouf<\/a> and Max Kilman<\/a> retain their spots to complete the Hammers\u2019 backline. <\/p>\n Furthermore, Soucek<\/a> was another substitute who impressed: <\/p>\n He netted one goal from two shots takenBoth of his shots were on target His passes in his own half were 100 per cent accurate <\/p>\n As a result, Nuno<\/a> could opt to reward his performance by starting him over Mateus Fernandes on Saturday. <\/p>\n Freddie Potts shone against Newcastle<\/a> and should retain his place alongside Lucas Paqueta<\/a> and Jarrod Bowen<\/a>. Despite not scoring, Callum Wilson<\/a> will likely start once again for the Hammers. <\/p>\n Nuno boasts good record vs Burnley<\/p>\n Nuno\u2019s managerial record against Burnley is decent, having won three and lost three of the eight games he\u2019s overseen. Two games ended in a draw. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Burnley were defeated 2-0 by Arsenal in their most recent Premier League match. <\/p>\n With a win under their belts, and Nuno\u2019s record against the Clarets a decent one, West Ham<\/a> fans will feel cautiously optimistic heading into the game. <\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?
