“West Ham will be too strong at home for Sunderland”

Harry Redknapp has told the Talksport Jim White radio Show that he believes West Ham will beat Sunderland at the weekend.

“West Ham on Saturday looked very good,” Redknapp said. “The big problem is Aaron Cresswell will be suspended, so they’ll miss him, but I still think West Ham will be too strong at home for Sunderland. I think Sunderland have it all to do.”

Redknapp was also guest on BT Sport on Saturday and blasted the decision to send Cresswell off telling viewers: “It was a ridiculous decision, how can you send someone off for that? It was disgusting. It was an innocuous challenge – two players running towards each other. He could have ruined a great performance from West Ham with that sending off, but they kept going and it was a great result for them.”

Later when Bilic was interviewed post match on BT sports he joked to Redknapp: “I learnt it all from you boss”
