Burnley The Value

Ernie Howe and his improving Burnley side travel to Upton Park tonight for a game where there appears to be genuine value about the away side. Although the Lancashire team have only won four away games all season two of those victories have come in their last three runs on away turf ( Watford 2-1, Portsmouth 3-1) and gradually they are starting to build consistency with only one defeat in nine. West Ham have won both times these sides have met in the Cup but it all depends on which Ham side turns up on Monday night. If it is the team that played the first 45 minutes at the Hawthorns recently Burnley are worth a puntinplay at around the 3/1 mark but given they improved significantly in the second half perhaps the 7/4 (draw no bet) is the option.
