Out of the Drop Zone by Sunday

Avram Grant has told The Sun, "We want to be out of the bottom three by Saturday evening. That is our target."

The next two games are certainly must win games for West Ham but to achieve this feat West Ham will also need results to go their way elsewhere.

The Daily Express are among a number of papers who say that the next two games are must win games for Grant as well. The papers say that Grant was given a target of seven points from four games before the draw at Birmingham. That leaves him searching for six points from the games against West Brom, Blackpool and Liverpool.


The Daily Mail says that Mark Noble is returning to light fitness work this week after having his appendix removed. They claim he will still miss the next two games.
