West Ham 1-0 Burnley
And that final whistle could well signal the end of Burnley's stint in the Premier League. It's such a shame that it has come with a bit of a whimper today, but the Clarets were up against it from the 24th minute, when Michael Duff was dismissed for tripping Cheikhou Kouyatein in the area. Mark Noble's subsequent penalty was the difference maker.
Head over to our overall live text for all the reaction.

West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Burnley now have some intent. But the long ball forward is dealt with and Ben Mee is forced into hacking down a marauding Stewart Downing.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Nene and Carlton Cole have been enthusiastically received by the Hammers support. Nene almost wriggles in on goal but is cut out. And then Cheikhou Kouyate hits a drive from 20 yards, which Jason Shackell nods off the line.

West Ham 1-0 Burnley
The chances are piling up for the home side. James Collins hooks over from a corner. It's quite disheartening to see Burnley unable to give this a real go.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Carl Jenkinson stretches his legs down the right side, not for the first time today. He has linked up with Stewart Downing to excellent effect. Burnley clear, but Carlton Cole finds himself with another tasty opening, but hits his shot straight at Tom Heaton.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
In fact, when the chances do come, they are falling to West Ham. Carlton Cole, who has just come on for Enner Valencia, nods over a Stewart Downing cross. He should have done better.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Unfortunately for Burnley, this is drifting away. And that's no criticism of their effort. This has just been an impossible ask with 10 men.

Final Score
"It's hard to see Burnley getting out of the relegation zone at this rate. QPR have given themselves a chance but Leicester have got momentum and will get out of it - Hull too. Sunderland are winning, and on current form Newcastle could be the ones to get sucked in as well."
SUBSTITUTION
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Kevin Nolan, who has been the proverbial engine room for West Ham today, is off for Nene.
Burnley bring on Marvin Sordell, who replaces Ashley Barnes.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Elsewhere, Aston Villa are leading 3-1 against Everton. Sunderland are 2-1 up against Southampton. And QPR are level at 1-1 at Liverpool. The signs are not good Burnley fans.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
The game has lost its zip, with West Ham prodding away with slow, patient build-up. Burnley briefly win it back, but Danny Ings is an isolated figure and watches the ball drift over his head.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Burnley need something. Anything. As it stands, they're just about keeping their heads above water, but West Ham keep coming and coming for that all important second goal.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Mark Noble's cross goes all the way to the back post and finds Reece Burke. Kieran Trippier is on hand to block the shot six yards out. Burnley are unable to find a way to put sustained pressure on the Hammers.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Ben Mee's right at the centre of things. He catches Kevin Nolan with a high boot - and the Hammers midfielder is a little displeased.

Final Score
"To stay up you do need that bit of quality as well as the blood, sweat and tears. Burnley have been lacking in quality, and they've been picked off in their general play. Just get a point today. Although they were unlucky to have Michael Duff sent off when there were players covering."

This Stewart Downing dive/penalty claim. You can watch from six different angles and come up with six different opinions. Downing has to hurdle he tackle - but does he have to hit the deck?
YELLOW CARD
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Ouch. Cheikhou Kouyate has taken one down the back of the leg from Michael Keane, who gets a yellow card.
YELLOW CARD
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Hmmm. Stewart Downing has dived, apparently. The winger is flying into the area, and Ben Mee comes sliding across.
There is contact, but is Downing expecting it? It's either a penalty or a dive - John Moss has gone with dive.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
West Ham come close. Kevin Nolan's poked ball through finds Morgan Amalfitano, and the Frenchman drifts an effort wide.
At the other end, Matty Taylor's low drive is kept out by Adrian.
And, it's all gone a bit bonkers now, as Tom Heaton saves from Kevin Noland and Enner Valencia can't put in the rebound.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
And when things aren't going for you, they're not going for you. Carl Jenkinson bundles over Danny Ings on the edge of the area - no free-kick, says Jonathan Moss.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
I've had another look at Michael Duff's red card. Scott Arfield looks like he is right there to challenge Kouyate - it's really, really harsh.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Danny Ings has a chance of his own making, but can't make it count. The Clarets' top scorer injects a bit of pace into his stride and comes off the touchline, into the area, and shoots wide.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Burnley manage to free Ashley Barnes down the right channel. But he's dinked ball into the middle is safely grasped by Adrian. West Ham carry the ball with purpose straight up the other end, but Stewart Downing also hits the keeper with his cross.
It's worth noting that Downing has been terrific today, always wanting the ball down the right flank.
KICK-OFF
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
It doesn't seem to have made too much difference. Kevin Nolan has space at the near post and flicks goalwards, but it's just wide.
SUBSTITUTION
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Burnley will have a reshuffle for the second half, as they attempt to deal with Michael Duff's red card.
George Boyd is the man to make way, with Michael Keane coming to slot into the back four.

Jamie has enlightened me as to who Mr Moo is, the name referred to on the Hammers PA system.
Jamie Kanawaty: It's "Mr Moon" which is a security code for the WHU officials
Thanks, Jamie.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
As it all stands, Burnley are a whopping eight points off safety, with just three more games to come after this. Even my most basic of maths suggests that anything but wins for Burnley and defeats for the teams above them would spell relegation, if things stay as they are.
The reason the gap has potentially increased is because Aston Villa are leading Everton 2-0 and Sunderland are drawing with Southampton.
In a small glimmer of hope for the Clarets, QPR are losing at Liverpool.

West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Where do Burnley go from here? They must feel like the world is against them at the moment.
After last week's drama of Matty Taylor missing a penalty and Leicester scoring their winner 59 seconds later, it is a controversial red card that has them in a muddle this week.
HALF-TIME
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Kieran Trippier hits a free-kick over the West Ham bar, before Aaron Cresswell has a crack from distance at the other end, with the same result. And that will be that for the first half.

The PA system has just made a curious announcement at Upton Park.
"Could the secretary be aware that Mr Moo is in the ground."
Anyone? No, me neither.
Post update

Try telling Mark Noble that Sam Allardyce isn't worth playing for. He really enjoyed that penalty.
He probably didn't enjoy the booking he has just received for catching Scott Arfield.
YELLOW CARD

Enner Valencia is in the thick of it, isn't he? Well, now he's in the book after catching Danny Ings with his elbow in an aerial challenge.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Burnley are forced into a bit more panicked defending. But Enner Valencia is offside, so the Clarets can breathe easy.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Now we've got a chance to breathe, we can have a closer look at Michael Duff's sending off.
It's not your classic last-man scenario, with Cheikhou Kouyate through on goal. Instead the Hammers man has jinked into the area and drawn a foul from Duff.
He was likely about to pull the trigger - so has Duff denied a goal-scoring opportunity? Referee Jonathan Moss says, "yes".

Munch Veevers: In what world, nay, dimension, was that a red card for Michael Duff? Burnley really are the unluckiest team in the Premier League.
Agubata Odinaka: Harsh red card to Duff for me...now West Ham will go on to get a draw in a match they would have certainly lost as usual

There's some hope for Burnley. Kieran Tripper crosses in from a corner and Ashley Barnes connects with a good header, but Adrian is equal to it. It looks like the Hammers keeper may have used a bit of thigh to keep it out - as long as he gets the job done.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Elsewhere, Burnley's relegation rivals Sunderland were 1-0 up on Southampton after Jordi Gomez's penalty. But the lead lasted barely a minute, with Sadio Mane equalising.
Post update
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
Tom Heaton is at it again, touching Morgan Amalfitano's half-volley around the post. Burnley need to get organised, and they need to do it quickly.
GREAT SAVE!
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
It should be 2-0 to West Ham. Enner Valencia receives the ball 10 yards out from Stewart Downing's pass and clips it towards goal, but it's a terrific save by Tom Heaton. The 10 men of Burnley are shell shocked.
GOAL
West Ham 1-0 Burnley (Noble pen)
Duff was done all ends up by Kouyate, who cut back in on to his right foot and was caught by the Burnley man.
Mark Noble makes no mistake from the spot.
RED CARD
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Oh dear Michael Duff. He's brought down Cheikhou Kouyate in the box and not only is it a penalty, it's a red card for the defender.

West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Sean Dyche must be pretty happy with how his side have settled into this one. But still no goal? Where is it going to come from?
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Burnley are really starting to cause some problems now. Matty Taylor's cross from the left is met by the diving head of Danny Ings, but he sends up rather than down, and it goes over the bar.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
A first sight of goal for Burnley, and it's their top scorer Danny Ings. The striker manages to squeeze in a shot from a tight angle but it zips wide.
And they immediately follow that up with another opening, as Ben Mee's cross is inches away from finding the head of Ashley Barnes.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Elsewhere, things are not looking good for Burnley. Aston Villa have gone 1-0 up against Everton, thanks to Christian Benteke, meaning as it stands the Clarets are seven points from safety.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Stewart Downing's cross is nodded behind by Kieran Tripper, possibly unnecessarily. The subsequent corner causes a bit of bother, but Kevin Nolan can't twist his body enough to guide a header on target.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
A few cheeky cheers from the West Ham faithful as Matty Taylor hilariously falls over while trying to chase down a ball. The Burnley man is a former Hammer, of course.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Apart from that Enner Valencia chance, we've not seen much action in the opening period. The Hammers have seen a bit of the ball out wide, and Stewart Downing puts in a cross from the right, but it's too deep.
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
Carlton Cole is warming up vigorously, but he won't be needed for the time being. Valencia s back on the pitch, but is moving some what gingerly.
Post update

Enner Valencia is now in a bit of trouble. It's not his pride that is hurt though, it seems to be his knee. The Ecuadorian has banged into Jason Shackell and is receiving treatment. He might have to go off...
Post update
West Ham 0-0 Burnley
And a chance straight off the bat for West Ham. Aaron Cresswell swings in a ball from the left, it's right across the face of goal and Enner Valencia only needs to get a stud on it - but fails to do so.
KICK-OFF
West Ham v Burnley (15:00 BST)
And we're away, with Danny Ings marginally caught offside in the first few seconds. Hammers keeper Adrian pumps forward the free-kick but it's long and out for a goal kick.

Before we start, their is a wonderfully observed applause for Rio Ferdinand's wife Rebecca Ellison, who has died of cancer. Rio, of course, started his career with the Hammers.

That stat below tells you all you need to know about why Burnley are where they are. Danny Ings, with nine for the season, has not scored in his last nine. Goals are like gold dust for the Clarets.
Can they change that today? 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles' is ringing out across Upton Park and the teams are shaking hands.

It's all smiles before kick-off at Upton Park. And surely this season hasn't been that bad, has it Hammers fans? There might be a few grumpy faces if Sam Allardyce doesn't get a result today I guess - they've only won one of their last 12.

BBC Match of the Day commentator
"Forget "No, Nay, Never"*, for Burnley it's NOW or never for getting the points they need to stay in the Premier League - or they'll "play B****** Rovers" again sooner than they'd like to.
"Five points away from safety, the Clarets are more than likely looking at a minimum of three wins from their remaining four games to stay up - a tall order for a team that have only won five of 34 this season.
"With Sam Allardyce having set a target (of sorts) of 50 points and a ninth-place finish to represent "progress" this season, his West Ham team need to re-focus for the run-in - not least to help the position of a boss Stewart Downing says the players "love playing for".

Bad to worse for Burnley
West Ham v Burnley (15:00 BST)
Before the day started, Burnley were five points adrift of safety. But things are getting worse for Sean Dyche's men.
Leicester City have beaten Newcastle 3-0. That means the Clarets are six points below 17th-placed Aston Villa, who host Everton.
Anything but a win today would make it very bleak for the men from Lancashire.
Team news
West Ham v Burnley (15:00 BST)
There's one change for each side at Upton Park.
Morgan Amalfitano comes into the West Ham midfield for Matt Jarvis, meanwhile Alex Song is fit enough to return to the bench after a back problem.
Burnley striker Ashley Barnes is back after a suspension, so Lukas Jutkiewicz drops to the bench.
West Ham XI: Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Burke, Cresswell, Amalfitano, Noble, Kouyate, Nolan, Downing, Valencia
Burnley XI: Heaton, Trippier, Shackell, Duff, Mee, Boyd, Arfield, Jones, Taylor, Barnes, Ings
Do or die for Burnley?
West Ham v Burnley (15:00 BST)
Surely this is the last chance saloon for Burnley today?
The Clarets fans are probably fed up of being called "plucky" and "a breathe of fresh air" - they'd rather not be bottom of the table with four games to go.
And what of Sam Allardyce's future at West Ham? He needs a convincing performance to help persuade a few doubters.
