"We have to face it, he said. We are fighting for survival. We cannot hide it. The results of other teams we cannot control. It is up to us. West Ham travel to Brighton on Sunday buoyed by their comeback point at Old Trafford, with such spirit helping them collect more Premier League points from losing positions than any side other than Aston Villa since Nuno's arrival."
"Everybody in the club realising we have to give the best of everything, Nuno added: We have to give the best of us to get out of this situation. That is the reality. A club like us, as big as we are, we have to face the situation. It is hard to build with urgency. But the boys are committed and we think we can do it."
Nuno Espirito Santo has overseen marked improvements since his late-September appointment, yet West Ham remain in the Premier League relegation zone. The team earned a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and travel to Brighton on Sunday buoyed by that comeback point. Nuno states the squad is fighting for survival and that results elsewhere cannot be controlled, so everyone must give their best to escape relegation. Under Nuno, West Ham have collected more Premier League points from losing positions than any side except Aston Villa. Lucas Paqueta returns from a one-match ban to start, and Crysencio Summerville may be involved.
