Howe issues Hammers warning

21 February 2011 10:00
Burnley boss Eddie Howe has warned West Ham that his side are hitting peak form ahead of Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round clash at Upton Park. Promotion remains the priority for the Clarets following their relegation from the Barclays Premier League last season. They lie six points adrift of sixth-placed Leeds but Howe's arrival at Turf Moor last month has breathed new life into the club. Howe's men have collected seven points from their last three games and the former Bournemouth manager sees no reason why his men cannot stun Avram Grant's side. "It's a game we are looking to do well in," said Howe. "There is a good team spirit and a desire there to achieve something this season. We are building momentum, we are in a good run of form and we want that to continue."
