All you need to know as the Hammers prepare to take on the Swans in a relegation six-pointer in Wales
West Ham travel to take on Swansea City this weekend in a game they simply dare not lose.
The two sides are separated by just three points in the Premier League, but Carlos Carvalhal's side are 18th, and truly stuck in the relegation mire.
Thus a Hammers loss could see them pulled into genuine trouble and, following a 4-1 thumping at the hands of Liverpool last weekend, they do not want to make a habit of adding losses on top of losses.
