Burnley v West Ham

Burnley v West Ham pits two very out-of-form sides against each other, and it’s Sean Dyche’s men who I’m backing to emerge victorious.

Though Burnley have lost their last three league games (two coming against Leicester and Chelsea), their record at Turf Moor is still fairly solid – winning three of their five, succumbing only to Chelsea and Liverpool.

As for West Ham, they’ve been desperately poor in recent weeks—earning two points from their last six games—and at 13/10, I’m backing the hosts to claim the spoils.  

Burnley - 1pt @ 13/10

Southampton v Everton

Two sides in desperate need of points are Southampton and Everton – and I’m backing both teams to score in their match.

The Saints have a hopeless record at St. Mary’s—accumulating just a single point from their five home games—perpetuated by a defence without a clean sheet in front of their own fans (conceding 19).

The Toffees have an identical away record (one draw, four defeats), and although they’ve failed to score in three of these games—though they did have men sent off against Crystal Palace and Burnley—Southampton’s defence should prove leaky enough for Marco Silva’s men to score.

Neither side are particularly free-scoring, but that shouldn’t matter too much considering their inability to keep clean sheets.
