Hammers boss Bilic on Sunderland: " He's got a good chance. They are still there, not adrift in a position like Aston Villa. He has improved the squad, they are very organised and showing quality and character. They got four points from Liverpool away and Manchester United at home - any club in the world would take that. They are organised, stubborn, but they have quality on the break. There is still a long way to go and they are there. They definitely have a good chance to stay up."

Sunderland can't play teams as easy to beat as Manchester United every week, unfortunately, but they have their matchwinner from that game, Lamina Kone, and the first goalscorer Wahbi Kazri.
12:10
West Ham have the chance to continue their impressive season with a relatively healthy squad. New signing Byram continues at left back. Payet, Emenike and Lanzini are the exciting trio of forwards. That's right. Trio.
