For the record it is perhaps just worth remembering that should we score the unlikeliest of victories over Pep Guardiola’s side West Ham rise to 14th, above Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A draw would take the Londoners five points clear of Leicester City, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest with four matches remaining.
Yes. we all know it really is impossible to consider a victory but let’s also remember the Hammers mantra at times like this: “Only West Ham!”
We will see how the team perform by watching Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and Ultra HDR in the UK should we be subscribers.
And the game will be shown across the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners.
You can listen to commentary in the UK on BBC Radio London 94.9FM and worldwide on whufc.com and our official app.
