Trevor Sinclair spoke exclusively to Jim White on talkSPORT (Wednesday, February 19th, 11:58am), and highlighted how important West Ham’s home games against Southampton and Wolves will be to their hopes of survival.
The Hammers are in real trouble at the moment. They are currently sitting in 18th spot in the Premier League table, one point adrift of safety.
The good news is that they do have a game in hand on most teams in and around them in the table.
The bad news, however, is that said game in hand is away at Manchester City tonight.
And with games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all to come in their next seven, things are looking bleak for West Ham.
David Moyes’s men absolutely must take maximum points from their home games against Southampton and Wolves over the course of the next few weeks.
And that was something that Sinclair alluded to, when speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT today Wednesday, February 19th, 11:58am):
“I’m looking at their games. Away at City tonight, then Liverpool. Then Southampton at home and Wolves a few weeks after. They have to be getting six points from those two games, Southampton and Wolves, if they are going to stay up.”
Sinclair is spot on here.
There isn’t much likelihood of the Hammers getting more than three points from their games against Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Moyes’s men must pick up points at home against the likes of Southampton and Wolves. West Ham probably need another five wins to guarantee survival.
As things stand, however, it is hard to see where they are going to come from.
