Hammers need three big favours

|

Another Saturday brings three highly important games for the Hammers with most of us looking for a favour from Everton in particular at lunchtime!

The Toffees – beaten 2-1 by us last weekend – take on Manchester United at Goodison desperately looking for a result as they continue to be haunted by relegation.

United are currently on the same number of points as the Irons with a game in hand. Defeat would put us in a decent position as we travel to Brentford tomorrow (Sun),

Arsenal – on the face of are looking at a home banker with Brighton visiting but who knows after their really poor performance against Palace in a 3-0 defeat.

With 54 points from 29 games  a victory for the south coast side would be a tremendous result for the Irons with even a draw  representing something of a bonus.

Spurs, meanwhile, with 54 points from 30 games travel to Villa who haven’t been in the best form losing their last three games by the odd goal.
