After a disappointing defeat in midweek, this is a huge fixture for West Ham to boost their survival hopes.
Losing at home to Burnley was a poor result and it leaves David Moyes' side, writing before Thursday's fixtures, four clear of the drop zone with four games to go.
Three points here would ease their worries massively before another big game against Watford (h) next week, followed by Man United (a) and Aston Villa (h). That final-day clash could well be crucial.
Daniel Farke's Norwich have lost their last six Premier League games in a row and a loss here would confirm the inevitable - their immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship.
The Canaries look down and out and you would really expect the Hammers to get a positive result. As the stats (below) state, they had 21 shots in the defeat to Burnley, so the chance creation and desire is there. Their draw at Newcastle last week also showed fight and it was their first point on the road since mid-December.
The scorer of their second goal was midfielder Tomas Soucek. Regular readers of Sporting Life's football section will know all about him, having raved about his season stats since he arrived from Slavia Prague in January.
We mentioned in our preview that the Czech international was 11/2 to score at Newcastle and, annoyingly, did not back him in the staking plan. He is 4/1 this time with bet365, and as low as 2/1 in some places, and we are not going to miss the boat this time.
An excellent price considering he has scored twice in his last three games. They both came from corners and he does pose a threat given his 6ft 3in presence.
He found the back of the net against Chelsea, then saw it unfortunately ruled out by VAR. He soon bullied Cesar Azpilicueta again from a set piece and headed home. Then, against Newcastle, he was in the box to tidy up after Declan Rice's header hit the bar.
In those two games, he had a combined five shots in total, then in Wednesday's poor result against Burnley, he had a further SIX shots.
He is yet to make his move permanent, with the east Londoners having an option to keep him for £13m this summer, so he has a personal motivation as well as trying to keep the Hammers up.
As we noted in our 11 players to watch feature, Soucek scored against both Inter and Dortmund in the Champions League this season. If he can do it against big teams on the big stage, there is no reason why he cannot continue his excellent start with West Ham.
At 4/1 against a leaky Norwich defence, it is certainly worth a shot.
Prediction: Norwich 1-2 West Ham
Best bet:
Watford made a big stride towards safety on Tuesday as Danny Welbeck's immense bicycle kick sealed a 2-1 win over Norwich. It moved them, writing before Thursday's fixtures, four clear of the drop zone.
Manager Nigel Pearson warned there is no breathing space yet and they will hope to have some ascendency here for another home clash, against Newcastle, who suffered a 5-0 thrashing at Man City on Wednesday.
A correct score group betting of Watford to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 served us well and it is an incredibly tempting 7/4 here. With confidence and Welbeck in the XI to provide support for Troy Deeney along with Ismaila Sarr, they can punish a Magpies side that was hit by injuries in midweek.
Miguel Almiron was only fit enough for a place on the bench and he did not come on, while Allan Saint-Maximin was absent from the squad.
Without those two, Steve Bruce's side could struggle going forward and look more like the side that had the worst expected goals rate for the season going into the enforced break. In addition, there was no excuse for some poor defending that was on show at the Etihad, Man City or not.
A narrow home win could be on the cards, but Newcastle's differing form since the restart, and the fitness of key players, makes us hesitate in putting it in the staking plan.
Prediction: Watford 2-0 Newcastle
Best bet:
If anyone thought Liverpool would be taking their foot off the gas after being confirmed as Premier League champions and then being thrashed by Man City, think again.
The Reds still have a number of records in their sights and Mo Salah is targeting the Golden Boot. The Egyptian had an incredible eight shots in total against Brighton, scoring two goals to move within three of Jamie Vardy who leads the way.
Salah missed a big chance late on and his clear disappointment and frustration at the full-time whistle showed just how much he wants the individual accolade for a third successive season (last year's was shared with Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang).
It is really tempting to back him to get a couple here, but the shots market is short and the 16/5 price on him to bag two or more does not quite appeal enough.
The Reds, with four games left, can still eclipse Man City's 100-point record from 17/18 and they are also going for a perfect home record - Burnley and Chelsea to go before becoming the first team to achieve 100% on home soil in the top flight since 1892.
So, Burnley...have they got a chance?
Well, anything is possible in this league and Sean Dyche does continue to do an incredible job at Turf Moor - the midweek win at West Ham putting them ninth and within touching distance of Arsenal, Sheff United and Wolves.
But you would expect a Salah-inspired Liverpool to get the job done. The only worry for how they start could be without Jordan Henderson, who is awaiting the results of a knee injury sustained at the Amex.
