West Ham United skipper and midfielder Kevin Nolan is hopeful his team can turn the tables around on a disastrous last few matches and beat Tottenham Hotspur for the third time this year, when the two sides face each other on Saturday.
The Hammers have failed to win any of their four games this month, and currently 14th in the league table, they are just five points off the relegation zone.
Sam Allardyce’s side have already defeated Spurs at White Hart Lane twice this season in the league and in a cup fixture, and will be hoping to complete their hat-trick when Tim Sherwood’s side visit the Boleyn Ground this weekend.
And Nolan believes his side can clinch a win in their last home game of the season, as they look to bag an important three points to mathematically secure their safety in the Premier League.
