The Lowdown: West Ham United v Hull City

After securing a vital 1-0 win over Burnley on Wednesday night, West Ham play host to Hull City on Saturday afternoon.

Mark Noble's first half goal proved decisive for the Hammers against the Clarets, the West Ham captain also striking the post with a stunning curling effort from distance. The Tigers arrive in East London having fallen foul of Tottenham Hotspur in midweek, Mike Phelan's men bested by a Cristian Eriksen-inspired display from the home side.

Darren Randolph, whose string of saves ensured a first clean sheet for West Ham since late October, insisted that the Hammers are on the rise, and the importance of securing three points at London Stadium against Burnley on Wednesday night:

“The morale is good in the dressing room," he said.

"There is happiness and relief that we managed to get a victory and we are moving further up the table. We have shown in patches this season how well we can play and we just need to do it for the whole game.

“We showed against Liverpool the character we have in the team and it was important to get a win against Burnley.

“We have been waiting for a while for a result at London Stadium. We have not played amazing football but right now we just need points and the rest will follow.”

Harry Maguire, speaking ahead of the fixture, pointed to improving performance in Hull City's recent fixtures, despite results not going their way.

“I’m looking forward to my first experience of going to West Ham’s new stadium," said the Hull City defender.

“We’re working hard on the training pitch. We take pride in keeping clean sheets and hopefully we can do that on Saturday.

 “We need to put a run of wins and positive results together. We’ve definitely been more of an attacking threat of late.”
