West Ham should brush aside Cardiff challenge

Premier League
7.45pm Tuesday

Cardiff have faced a difficult run of away fixtures but they have taken only one point from six road matches and scored just twice. Neil Warnock's outfit are clearly targeting their home games to boost their survival chances.

Saturday's home date with Southampton looks a better chance of picking up maximum points and West Ham are fancied to oblige for odds-on backers due to their superior firepower.

Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic and Felipe Anderson can carry the Hammers to maximum points following Saturday's 3-0 success at Newcastle.
