A last gasp winner from Callum Wilson secured a crucial three points away at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and offered the Hammers a timely confidence boost ahead of their clash with Sunderland.
That result injected fresh belief into West Ham United’s relegation fight. The Hammers still sit five points from safety and know that one win alone will not be enough to change the wider picture. Even so, the manner of the victory in north London has clearly boosted team morale going into this fixture.
Sunderland arrive in confident mood after continuing to defy expectations following promotion.
The Black Cats stunned West Ham 3-0 on the opening day of the season and will fancy their chances of completing a league double. That emphatic August victory set the tone for what has been an impressive campaign back in the top flight.
Few would have predicted Sunderland sitting ninth after 22 games, yet they hold a commanding 16-point cushion over the bottom three. Their progress has been one of the stories of the season, and two more wins from their remaining fixtures may be enough to secure safety for another year.
Sunderland’s recent form has also been strengthened by the return of players from the Africa Cup of Nations, giving them close to a full strength squad for the run in.
That depth in suqd quality has helped them maintain momentum and cope with the physical demands of Premier League performances.
West Ham remain under pressure.
The win at Tottenham was a suprise to many pundits and fans, but questions remain over whether it can spark a sustained run of form in their relegation fight this season.
