West Ham United gave their season a shot in the arm last weekend and now have the chance to move out of the Premier League drop zone when they host Burnley.
New boss Nuno Espirito Santo got his first win at the fifth attempt as his side came from behind to claim a deserved 3-1 win over Newcastle United.
Like most people, The Betting Desk fancied the Magpies to win in London but they were outfought as the Hammers turned in their best performance of the season.
This clash with Burnley now looks being a pivotal game in both teams' seasons, with the Clarets sitting just three points above Santo's side in the table.
Scott Parker's men lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal last weekend, with both recommended bets landing for our man Greg.
But they had won two in a row before that, against Leeds and Wolves, to boost their chances of avoiding an instant return to the Championship.
And if Burnley can bounce back with a win at the London Stadium it would give them a six-point cushion over the Hammers.
How the bookies view it: Hammers back in business
West Ham's impressive display against Newcastle has made them odds-on favourites for this one, although their price is still decent at 20/21 with BOYLE Sports. Burnley are 3/1 outsiders and the draw pays 12/5.

Recent head to head: Joy of six for West Ham
West Ham United are unbeaten in their last six games against Burnley. But three of those matches have ended in draws, including a 2-2 stalemate on Burnley's last visit to the London Stadium in March 2024.
Players to watch: Bowen to do some damage
Jarrod Bowen didn't score last weekend but it wasn't through a lack of attempts, with one strike smashing back off the post. He still looks West Ham's biggest goal threat and is 7/4 for anytime scorer. I also like the evens on offer at Bet365 for the forward to either score or assist.
Jaidon Anthony scored four times in his first six games this season but has drawn a blank in Burnley's last four. He could be due a goal and is 7/2 for anytime scorer.
Probable line-ups
Santo will be tempted to stick with the side that played so well against Newcastle, although Tomas Soucek's goal off the bench could make him a contender to start. Niclas Fullkrug, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Ollie Scarles look set to miss out again.
Burnley have a few injury issues too, with Conor Roberts, Jordan Beyer, Zeki Amdouni and Lyle Foster likely to sit this one out.
West Ham United: Areola, Killman, Diouf, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka, Paqueta, Fernandes, Potts, Summerville, Wilson, Bowen.
Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Hartman, Esteve, Tuanzebe, Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Anthony, Florentino, Cullen, Flemming
Anything else catch the eye?
Burnley's only blanks this season have come against Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs, while West Ham have kept just one clean sheet.
That suggests we should see goals at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 13/10 with BOYLE Sports.
West Ham have won an average of seven corners across their last three home games so I also like the 11/0 on offer at Bet365 for over 5.5 home corners.
The foul markets could offer some value and a double on Hammers kid Freddie Potts and Burnley veteran Kyle Walker each committing over 0.5 fouls pays 5/4 at Bet365.
