West Ham United striker Michail Antonio believes his side will win their crucial clash at home to fellow relegation contenders Southampton on Sunday afternoon.
The Hammers, currently sat 18th in the Premier League’s relegation zone, host bottom-of-the-table Saints knowing that a win would move them out of the bottom three, with David Moyes' men just a point from safety.
Having finished in the top seven in the previous two seasons, it is somewhat of a far cry from recent campaigns but Antonio is among the players who were still at West Ham when they were previously more used to fighting for survival rather than for European football.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game against one of Antonio’s former clubs, the 33-year-old Jamaica international believes that West Ham will get the job done and leave the match with all three points wrapped up.
"Six pointer, it is crucial, crucial that we win this game,” Antonio told the Footballers’ Football Podcast.
“We have been in this situation before, it has been a few years, but we have been in this situation before and we believe that we are good enough.
"We have worked hard, we are working hard preparing for the game and we believe we can do it and I will see you guys next week with three points in my back pocket."
When the two sides last met in October, Declan Rice’s first goal of the season earned a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s, with Romain Perraud’s controversial opener putting the side then managed by Ralph Hasenhuttl ahead.
