Live on Skysports 1 & BBC1: Fri 14.00 & 17.15: West Ham are 5/6 with Blue Square for a crucial Championship victory at Barnsley.
West Ham’s automatic promotion hopes suffered a huge blow at the weekend as they were beaten 4-2 at home by second-placed Reading and the Hammers have now won just one of their last seven.
However, Sam Allardyce’s men have maintained a certain level of consistency away from home of late, taking eleven points from their last five, unbeaten away matches and they can stay in the hunt for the top two places by beating a Barnsley side coming into the contest on the back of nine defeats in a dozen outings.
Blue Square chalk West Ham up at 5/6 but the likely victory for the Hammers is unlikely to see them close the gap on Reading as the Royals, at 4/6 courtesy of BetVictor, should get the better of Leeds at the Madejski Stadium and a double on the promotion-chasing pair comes in at a tempting 2/1 via Coral.
