This is more like a do or die game for Sunderland. They have very tough matches ahead of them with trips to both Tottenham and Chelsea. This seems to be the match where they have to push for the win.
Sunderland's Stadium of light used to be a fortress in recent seasons however this year the Black Cats were awful, with the worst home record in the league: 3-3-8 you can't hope for survival. It is imperative they improve their game and retain the 3 points if they still want to hope.
Sunderland (Possible, 4-4-2): Mannone; Brown, Alonso; O'Shea, Bardsley; Ki, Bridcutt, Colback, Johnson; Altidore, Borini.
Flethcher & Westwood will both miss todays game.
West Ham had their ups and downs this season and now with only a few games left to play they find themselves sitting quite confortably in the 11th position of the Premier League.
They are not very solid travelers with only 3 wins away from home but good results can also be considered the 0-0 draw against Chelsea. They are quite safe and probably any points they obtain from now are just "a bonus" since they have no European hopes and their relegation concerns are, arguably, almost gone.
West Ham (Possible, 4-4-1-1): drian; Demel, Reid, Tomkins, McCartney; Downing, Taylor, Noble, Diam; Nolan; Carroll.
Boriello and O'brien will both miss today's game.
I believe that Sunderland has the squad to push for a win in this game and push farther for survival.
