West Ham's first two fixtures in May have been moved for prime-time television slots as the Champions League run-in hots up.
The Hammers' visit to Burnley will now take place on Monday, May 3, with a 20:15 BST kick-off time. The May Bank Holiday fixture will be the final match of the game week meaning European rivals Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool will all have played their matches before David Moyes' team kick-off.
Over the same weekend, Leicester visit Southampton on Friday 30 April, Chelsea host local rivals Fulham on Saturday 1 May and Liverpool face a tough trip to Old Trafford on Sunday 2 May.
The pressure will be on the Hammers to at least match their rivals' results or potentially to take advantage of any slip-ups.
A similar scenario will occur the following game week where West Ham once again play after all three of their main European rivals.
The Hammers host Everton on Sunday, May 9 at 16:30 BST, and once again Moyes' side will be under pressure with the knowledge of how the other Premier League European hopefuls have got on.
For the second weekend running Leicester kick-off proceedings with a Friday night match when Newcastle visit the King Power Stadium. Chelsea's away trip to Manchester United takes place on Saturday, May 8, followed shortly after by Liverpool taking on Southampton.
The last two times West Ham were the last of the European bound teams to play the Hammers stood up to the task well, beating both Leicester and Wolves 3-2. The results enabled Moyes' team to match Liverpool and Chelsea's wins one weekend and to take advantage of the Blues' slip-up the other.
Playing last two weekends in a row is sure to pile the pressure on the Hammers, but as Moyes has said in the past he is taking 'one game at a time' and can only control what West Ham do.
The trip to Burnley and the visit of Everton will both be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK.
