League Standings

West Ham currently sit in the bottom 3 in the Premier League, 5 points away from safety. However the Hammers are full of confidence coming into this game after a dramatic late winner from Callum Wilson saw them pick up all 3 points away at Spurs. That victory alone may not be enough for West Ham, they have a tough run of fixtures that include, Chelsea and Manchester United in the coming weeks. Nuno really needs to get his boys together if they are to avoid relegation.

The visitors Sunderland come into the game, higher than ever as they sit 9th in their first season back in the Premier League. Last time out the Black Cats kept their unbeaten record at home, beating Palace 2-1 despite falling a goal behind. Regis Le Bris has done a phenomonal job up north and it's not crazy to say that we could see Sunderland playing in Europe next season. A win here could see them jump as high as fourth if results went their way.
