West Ham will be looking to build on last week's shock victory at Tottenham when they host high-flying Sunderland at the London Stadium on Saturday. 

Despite that 1-2 win at Spurs, West Ham are still five points from safety at the foot of the Premier League table. There has been a slight upturn in their performances since the turn of the year, but unless the Hammers can start stringing positive results together, it is hard to see them beating the drop.

Sunderland's season could hardly have gone any better so far. Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace moved the Black Cats up to ninth place in the table, only three points off the Champions League qualification places. Given that most experts predicted that Régis Le Bris' men would finish at the bottom of the division, their form over the first five months of the campaign has been nothing short of sensational.

Our West Ham vs Sunderland Prediction

We're not convinced that West Ham's win at Spurs will be the turning point of their season. The Hammers have been woeful in most of their recent games, so it will take more than one positive result to convince us that they can avoid the drop. 

They certainly won't find things easy on Saturday against a Black Cats side that are full of confidence after an excellent run of results.

The bookies make the home side marginal favorites for the win, but we think the value lies in backing the visitors to claim all three points. 

Our prediction for West Ham United vs Sunderland is: Sunderland to win.
