West Ham United take on Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace and Sunderland in their next three matches.

Andy Hinchcliffe has told Sky Sports News, which was broadcast on 28th September, that he believes West Ham United can take five points from their next three matches.

West Ham have started the season in abysmal fashion, and have won just once in their first six Premier League matches.

The Hammers are currently in 18th place in the top tier standings, and the pressure is on them to start collecting victories.

Slaven Bilic’s side now head into a run of fixtures which look winnable – with a home match against Middlesbrough first up, before they take on Crystal Palace and Sunderland.

And Hinchcliffe feels that West Ham will be able to go unbeaten through their next three games, to start building up some confidence.

“It’s going to be tough. It doesn’t take much – if you win one match, you can get on a roll again,” the pundit said.

“But the current form that they’re in, I’m not saying that they’ll be aiming to get three draws, but I think a win would be most welcome. All the press attention could then drop away. If they pick up five points they have to be pleased.”

West Ham are the favourites to beat Middlesbrough at home, despite their struggles so far at the London Stadium.

Palace, on the other hand, have started the season well and will pose a tough test at Selhurst Park.

Sunderland are one of the only teams who are currently below West Ham in the table, and the loser of that tie on the 22nd October, is likely to be in serious trouble.
