Harry Redknapp feels West Ham United will do enough to avoid relegation this season.
The Hammers picked up a point against Leeds United on Wednesday night, goals from Lucas Paqueta and Gianluca Scamacca earned a 2-2 draw to halt a run of five successive Premier League defeats dating back to October.
The point leaves them still in 17th, out of the relegation zone on goal difference, but with their next two fixtures in the league against Wolves and Everton, who occupy two of the three relegation spots, there's an opportunity to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three.

Speaking on Thursday morning after the Leeds stalemate, former West Ham boss Redknapp said that he felt David Moyes' side would be alright but feared for Everton and his nephew Frank Lampard.
“I do fear for Everton, I look at Everton’s team, they’ve got it all on. It is going to be tight down there but I do think West Ham will be fine. I follow every game, I kick every ball for [Frank] Lampard,” Redknapp told TalkSPORT.
“At the start of the season, I looked at their squad – they had [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin injured. Signed [Neal] Maupay – they’re very short. He needs help. If Lampard had [Antonio] Conte’s squad he would be delighted. It is going to be a long season for Everton.”
