West Ham boss Moyes hoping to avoid European hangover vs Burnley
West Ham manager David Moyes is wary of a potential hangover against Burnley on Sunday after his side’s Europa League heroics this week.
The Hammers memorably claimed a place in the semi-finals of the European competition with a stunning 3-0 win over Lyon at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday.

West Ham now have a massive chance of European glory
Liverpool's squad depth is ridiculous!
He said: “There is potential (for distraction) but we plan (for it) not to if we can. We will get focused on the next game.
“The league is really important for us and we have to try to hang in there in the European places if we can.
“Whatever way you deal with the European games, you have to deal with it. The big clubs do and get results, so we will do the same.
“We’ve done pretty well this year considering the Thursday-Sunday games, which is not an ideal situation. Hopefully we can prepare as well as we possibly can.”
West Ham had travelled to France in hope after a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final last week.
They delivered on that as goals
