NOTHING less than a win will do for West Ham when one of their chief rivals to beat the drop makes the trip to the Boleyn Ground tomorrow.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have given their own survival chances a shot in the arm thanks to a shock victory at Liverpool in the week.
Manager Avram Grant has been forced to shuffle his pack in recent games as the fixtures pile up over the festive period, although he is likely to field his strongest possible side to take on Mick McCarthy's men, who will also be desperate for a win.
We on the sports desk believe West Ham will get the victory they so badly need if they harbour any real hope of staving off the threat of relegation.
Prediction: West Ham 3 Wolves 1
