West Ham have returned to form and can move back into the top four. They begin this match in fifth place and host Norwich who are rock bottom of the Premier League. West Ham's early season form disappeared with a run of just one win in eight matches. However, they have come through that and won their last three games in all competitions with nine goals being scored. Their most recent game was the home FA Cup tie against Leeds United, running out 2-0 winners. At the start of this game, they are only a point behind fourth placed Arsenal. With home games against Norwich and Leeds on the way, they should be able to get two victories. They have only lost one of their last five home league games.

Norwich City are again fighting relegation. The year ends in an even figure and that often means going down a division for the Canaries. They are only three points from safety but a vastly inferior goal difference makes that four in reality. Only eight league goals have been scored by Norwich this season but at the other end, they have already conceded 42. They won 1-0 at League One Charlton in the FA Cup on Sunday, that ended a run of five losses in a row without a goal in sight. Only three away league goals have been scored, one of those was a penalty. Their last five away league games have seen them concede 15 goals. Another loss looks on the cards here, back the Hammers to win and lead at both half and full time.
