Burnley have drawn five of their last eight league matches
Four of Burnley's last five home fixtures in the Premier League have featured over 3.5 goals
Recommended bet: Draw & both teams to score
Desperate times require desperate measures, so Burnley and West Ham may be forced to go for broke in this relegation six-pointer at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The beleaguered pair are deep within the Premier League relegation zone and games are running out fast as the two teams look to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship.
Burnley start the weekend 11 points adrift of safety, while the Hammers are six points off Nottingham Forest who occupy the final safe spot of 17th.
A nervy encounter could play in this contest with neither side wanting to lose, but they may also see it as an opportunity to grab a priceless three points, so that may lead to a pulsating clash in the heart of Lancashire.

Prediction
Time is running out for Burnley as they look set to return to the Championship at the first time of asking but they have shown some fight in recent weeks and although their second victory in 17 matches may prove beyond them this weekend, they can at least avoid defeat against fellow strugglers West Ham.
The Clarets have not won in the league since the end of October but they have drawn three of their last four Premier League fixtures and they have found their shooting boots in recent weeks, with four of their last five home league outings featuring over 3.5 goals.
They could play their part in an entertaining draw as West Ham cannot be trusted to pick up a win either, as the East Londoners have won just two of their 12 away matches this term.
Things have picked up recently for the Irons who have beaten Tottenham and Sunderland in their last three outings, but last week's 3-2 loss at Chelsea when they threw away a 2-0 lead was a huge setback and one they may struggle to recover from in a tricky contest such as this.
