Here is how we predict West Ham United and Sunderland will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 22nd October 2016 at 14:00. Venue: London Stadium, London

Odds: West Ham 7/10, Draw 29/10, Sunderland 18/5

West Ham United welcome Sunderland to the London Stadium this weekend, with both sides desperate for the three points.

The Hammers got a much-needed victory on the board when they overcame Crystal Palace 1-0 last time out, and manager Slaven Bilic will be hoping they can continue that good form against the Premier League’s bottom club.

Sunderland are in dire straits after collecting just two points from their first eight matches and if things do not get better soon the Black Cats will struggle to make yet another great escape.

In early team news, West Ham are without Arthur Masuaku, Sam Byram, Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Gokhan Tore due to injury, while Aaron Cresswell is suspended following his dismissal last weekend.

As for Sunderland, they cannot call on Adnan Januzaj, Jan Kirchhoff, Seb Larsson, Vito Mannone or Fabio Borini while Lee Cattermole and Jason Denayer are major doubts.

With that in mind here is how we expect the two sides to line up on Saturday:
