Michael, who admits that West Ham's playing surface was not ideal at the weekend, hopes to be playing on more turf than moor on Tuesday, and confesses:
"I have never been to Burnley at all, never mind a Tuesday night - I don't even know where it is!
"There are a few new grounds this season and I don't know what theirs is like, to be fair."
Michael just hopes that he can help make it two wins on the trot to keep the pressure on the sides above, and he adds:
"With Sheffield United and West Brom losing at the weekend that gives us a bit of hope.
"If we keep winning we will see what happens and in the last few games we have got a little run together - we haven't lost for quite a while in the league so things are looking good.
"In the last couple of league games we have won them so there is a bit of momentum now; away we are still playing well enough so we just have to keep it going."
Michael feels West Ham could have won by a bigger margin against Cardiff, and adds:
"It should have been more, really; but it wasn't to be and we were just happy with grinding out a clean sheet and getting the 1-0 win.
"I think the fans were seeing that we were playing quite well and creating chances but it just wasn't happening.
"They were behind us and had to be patient - and that helped the players; if you can get that second it gives you a cushion but I thought we defended well enough to keep them fairly quiet.
"We've hit the post and the bar, had four good chances, so you wonder if it will be your day - but thankfully Bobby stuck one in the back of the net to cheer us all up.
"It was a good finish for the goal after going through in the first half and getting taken out - I don't know what the ref saw there."
That, of course, is a reference to Daniel Gabbidon somewhat fortuitously only being given a yellow card for bringing down Bobby on the edge of the box, and Michael admits:
"I thought he was going to be sent off; he was on the edge of the box and there was no one between him and the goal."
As for the defeat by Fulham in the FA cup last week, Michael adds:
"We played well enough for 75 minutes but once they scored the first goal you have to try and get it back.
"Then they hit us on the break to make it look worse than it was.
"So it was good to get back to winning on Saturday."
