Capital One Cup: Burnley to lead Championship charge
Sean Dyche's Burnley are on the march with eight wins in eight

"Burnley's superlative recent form cannot be ignored, as the Clarets have romped to eight consecutive wins in all competitions and are three points clear at the summit of the Championship following the 2-0 victory over QPR at the weekend."
Best Bet: Back Burnley to win @ 2.6213/8

West Ham could be one of three Premier League sides dumped out of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night as they head to Championship leaders Burnley...

Burnley v West Ham, Tuesday 19:45, Match Odds: Burnley 2.6213/8, West Ham 2.9215/8, The Draw 3.5551/20 
The safest bet in this game may well be to back under 2.5 goals at 2.021/1 as, besides their 3-0 win at Tottenham, West Ham's other four away games this season have only seen one goal, with the recent 0-0 draw at Swansea their third goalless encounter on the road. However, Burnley's superlative recent form cannot be ignored, as the Clarets have romped to eight consecutive wins in all competitions and are three points clear at the summit of the Championship following the 2-0 victory over QPR at the weekend. West Ham have drawn a blank in all but one away game, and Sean Dyche's side are a good bet to win if they can penetrate the Irons' defence even just once.
Best Bet: Back Burnley to win @ 2.6213/8

Birmingham v Stoke, Tuesday 19:45, Match Odds: Birmingham 3.8514/5, Stoke 2.0811/10, The Draw 3.5551/20
The hardest match of the trio for the underdogs, mostly because Birmingham have proven so adept at shooting themselves in the foot so far this campaign. The Blues sit 20th in the Championship after taking just 11 points from their first 13 games, but have made a mini-revival at home of late, winning three of their past four at St Andrew's, including a 3-1 over holders Swansea in the last round of the cup. Stoke have lost four of their six away games this season and have failed to score in eight of their last nine encounters with Birmingham, including blanks in all four games at St Andrew's.
Recommended Bet: Back Birmingham to win @ 3.8514/5

Leicester v Fulham, Tuesday 19:45, Match Odds: Leicester 2.3811/8, Fulham 3.1511/5, The Draw 3.5551/20
Leicester have won each of their past seven games at the King Power Stadium and five of their last six anywhere to push them into the automatic promotion spots in the Championship. Fulham have lost three of their six away games in all competitions this season without scoring, including their last outing at Southampton, and required penalties to win at League Two Burton in the second round of this competition. The Foxes have won each of their last five home games 2-1, a scoreline they are 9.417/2 to repeat, with both teams to score also a good bet at 1.625/8 as it would have won in seven of Leicester's past eight matches.
Recommended Bet: Back Leicester to win @ 2.3811/8
