West Ham United will try to keep up the pressure on leaders Southampton when they host Derby County tomorrow night at Upton Park.

The Hammers have won four of their last five matches and will be confident of extending this run in front of the TV cameras.

West Ham could be boosted by the return of Matt Taylor after the former Bolton midfielder made a goalscoring comeback for the development side on Tuesday.

Derby made an excellent start to the season but have been struggling lately with four defeats in their last five games.

With home advantage, I would expect the Hammers to keep up the pressure on the Saints and I'm tipping them to get a 3-1 victory.
