Burnley v West Ham

It's not a classic clash of the Clarets at Turf Moor but it's the visitors who will be relishing the game and the chance to bag a second win in four days and a sixth in seven as they continue to climb up the table.

Manuel Pellegrini does have a long injury list to deal with as they only had six subs during Thursday's win against Southampton, so that's a bit of a worry for the game coming so close after the last one.

Burnley's form has been horrible though and, more worryingly, their performances have been laboured and full of errors - not something we associated with Sean Dyche's side last season.

The Hammers have found their goal-scoring touch of late as well with 15 goals in their last six and with Burnley leaking goals hand over fist it doesn't look promising against a West Ham side well capable of striking on the break.

Betting guide

Prediction: Burnley 1-3 West Ham (Sky Bet odds: 16/1)
It may be a bit extravagant on the goals front but the Hammers have been impressive recently and the way this game may be played out would be right up their street to pray on the obvious defensive problems the hosts are having right now.

Best bet: West Ham to win at 6/5
This is no time for heroes or trying to dig out something when we don't need to. West Ham are away from home and have injury problems but anyone watching Burnley of late knows they look like conceding on almost every attack they face - and West Ham have plenty of finishers ready to exploit that.

RequestABet: West Ham win, Felipe Anderson to score, 4+ corners each, 50+ booking points
Anderson looks like the real deal of late, with more than a hint of the Leroy Sane's about him he's a real threat with pace and a great finish on him. He can score here and Burnley will pile up the bookings trying to scrap their way out of trouble.
