The Hammers dropped down to eleventh place after a win for Wolves who beat Spurs 3-1 and a draw for Watford with Newcastle.
Everton already above West ham dropped points this afternoon as they lost to Brighton 1-0 and Leicester also dropped points as they lost 1-0 to Cardiff at home.
With West Ham on 27 points with a game in hand, it means they can leapfrog seventh-placed Wolves who are on 28 points.
An earlier Claret and Hugh poll voted on by hundreds of readers shows confidence among supporters is high with over 72% expecting back to back away wins for the Hammers. A further 22% say it will end up in a draw while only 6% believe that Burnley can triumph at Turf Moor tomorrow.
Bookies make West Ham the 6/5 favourites for the win with the Burnley win or a draw both quoted at odds at 5/2.
