BBC pundit Chris Sutton believes West Ham United need one point from their remaining four games to stay in the Premier League.
Hammers are four points clear of the relegation zone and face Manchester United on Sunday, who are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday night.
David Moyes' side have lost their last three league games as they look to avoid the drop to the Championship.

Heading into the final few weeks of the season, Sutton has said that one point should be enough to stay in England's top-flight due to their superior goal difference compared to Everton who are in 19th place and five points worse off - West Ham are on -13 goal difference with the Toffees on -25.
"Things can change but, right now, I think West Ham need a point to stay up. That would put them six points above Everton, and the Hammers have a much better goal difference," Sutton said in his BBC predictions column.
"They won't get it here, though. Manchester United's squad has been stretched by injuries but they still have some real quality, especially on the counter-attack, and they are not going to blow up completely," said Sutton, who predicted a 2-1 Man United.
"Instead, United are finding a way to win games, which is testament to their manager Erik ten Hag. You would never accuse them of being overly convincing, though, which is why I think this one will be close."
