West Ham host Birmingham in one of the first six pointers of the Premier League season.

West Ham come off the back of a very good win away at Blackpool and will be full of confidence to win the match. The Hammers are a best current price of 6/5 with Bet365, which is just the right side of evens.

Birmingham also had a good mid-week result as they managed to get a point from a tight game against Manchester City. They have the quality needed to win at West Ham and 11/4 for the away win will be popular. The draw is a best price of 23/10 with Boylesports.

West Ham are slight favourites on a couple of scores in the correct score market though there is still time for this to change. A 1-0 home win would mean a poor match but three vital points and looks good at 7/1 with Stan James. A 2-1 win for West Ham is also a good bet at 17/2 with Skybet.

The first winning score that appears in favour of Birmingham is 1-0 at 9/1 with Bet365 and Skybet. This seems a little long in price and could shorten if enough people back it as an option. The 1-1 draw is favourite above everything else at a tempting 6/1 with William Hill.

Robbie Keane managed to get a goal on his debut for West Ham and he is 6/1 with Paddy Power to score the first goal of the match. Carlton Cole is not too far behind him at a solid price of 13/2 with the same bookmaker.

Cameron Jerome is favourite to score the first goal of the match for Birmingham and is well priced with 15/2 available all over the market. Nikola Zigic is also worth a bet after a goal against Manchester City at 8/1 with Victor Chandler.
