Sunderland are yet to win a Premier League match under David Moyes’ stewardship.

Wahbi Khazri has told the Daily Mirror that Sunderland boss David Moyes has been urging his squad to work hard to improve their form.

Sunderland are still looking for their first Premier League win since Moyes took charge, after making a terrible opening to the new campaign.

The Black Cats are stuck at the bottom of the top flight table, having collected just two points so far this term.

And Moyes has stressed to his players that the only way form them to break out of their current slump will be to improve their efforts on the training ground.

“The manager said we need to work every day – hard work,” Khazri revealed.

“It’s no good, we have just two points after eight or nine games, it’s too dangerous. We need to work every day.

“Now we go into the West Ham game and we need to win. Having just two points is dangerous, we need to win our first game.”

Sunderland lost 2-0 in their latest outing against Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.

They are now in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table, and already sit four points away from safety.

Sunderland’s next match comes against West Ham United at the London Stadium, and another defeat would be disastrous for the Wearsiders, as they battle to move away from the drop zone.
