West Ham manager Moyes wary facing Burnley

West Ham United manager David Moyes has a lot of time for newly promoted Burnley.

The Hammers head coach was asked about the recent arrival into the Premier League, as they prepare to play them at the weekend.

Moyes stated on Burnley's recent results: "I think the teams coming out of the Championship are, in the main, doing a really good job. I remember my time with Preston and teams like Bolton and Blackburn came up and were in the Premier League for a long time.

"It's been a challenge for the promoted teams this season but I don't think that's anything to say about any gap between the two leagues."

He then paid a compliment to his opposite number at Burnley, praising young head coach Vincent Kompany.

Moyes added: "Vincent, I'm sure, has got some incredible people who he's worked with who give him some great advice.

"I admire him though. I admired him as a player, had a great career, and I have to say he's had a great start to his managerial career."
