West Ham's situation is beginning to look critical, with their co-owner David Sullivan saying this week they have only a "25 to 30%" chance of staying up. They are also facing a side they have beaten only once in their 11 attempts. City's win at Blackburn has strengthened their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League and Joe Hart needs only one more clean sheet to equal the club record of 26 in a single season, set by Nicky Weaver in 1998-99. Hart's form means the fit-again Shay Given will leave the club in the summer and Arsenal are monitoring his availability despite passing up the opportunity in the last two transfer windows.
