Swansea v West Ham – Match Officials

This Saturday, West Ham make the trip to South Wales to take on Swansea City in a Premier League fixture.

The loss, to Liverpool, last time out, sees the Hammers just three points above the relegation places, one of which is occupied by our opponents this weekend, Swansea City.

Although the results have improved since David Moyes took over form Slaven Bilic, the Hammers have still not managed to get enough momentum going to pull totally clear of the relegation dog-fight.

Now, we don`t believe for one minute that the Hammers will be relegated, there`s surely three teams worse than us that fate awaits, however, it is a little unnerving to keep looking down at the foot of the table and see that we`re only three points ahead of the struggle for survival.
