TEAM NEWS
BURNLEY
Burnley come to this after losing their last three league games and conceded nine goals in the process which will concern Sean Dyche.
Dyche Pieters replaced by Taylor in the first round in a 3-0 loss at Bramall Lane last weekend and there is a chance Taylor starts here.
Wood edging back to fitness and the tall striker could return to the starting line-up for Rodriguez if he is deemed fit enough.
Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil; Rodriguez, Barnes
Not available: Drinkwater (Injured), Gudmundsson (Injured)
Doubtful: Wood (Injured)
WEST HAM
West Ham have picked up just two points in their last five games as boss Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure after losing to Newcastle.
Pellegrini will consider making changes for this match because he was satisfied with his team's performance in recent weeks.
Fredericks and Lanzini are tipped to return to the side while Ogbonna could also go back to try to shore up what has been a leaky defense.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Roberto; Fredericks, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell; Noble, Rice; Snodgrass, Lanzini, Felipe Anderson; Haller
Not available: Fabianski (Injured), Antonio (Hurt), Reid (Injured)
Doubtful: Wilshere (Injured)
Prediction
Burnley will be fired after such a poor performance at Bramall Lane last week. A brooding Lancarshire people will be fully behind the Clarets, as they look to turn around their form.
Despite their good start, West Ham has looked clueless in recent weeks, with Pellegrini has not found a solution to whatever caused this huge dip in form. The Hammers had to be at their best to take anything away from this one.
It will be a close match, but with West Ham usually struggle at Turf Moor, which tilted the game in favor of Burnley.
Prediction: Burnley 2-1 West Ham
