TEAM NEWS: Three full debuts for Burnley, and still no James Tarkowski


However, centre back James Tarkowski is again absent, after Dyche had said yesterday: "We can't make massive changes, but we might have James Tarkowski back again, I'm going to confirm that with him today because obviously I've just walked in here and we're training this afternoon then travelling down to London."
West Ham have had two offers turned down to Tarkowski, the last £20m rising to £30m, and have turned their attentions to St Etienne's 19-year-old Wesley Fofana, offering an initial fee of £23m and up to £10m in add-ons.
