West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce believes that his side are capable of continuing their positive run when they face Norwich City on Tuesday.

The Hammers are unbeaten in their last three fixtures, which has taken them out of the relegation zone and into 15th in the Premier League table.

"Every game recently has been massive in terms of trying to get the team in a better position in the league," West Ham's Twitter page quotes Allardyce as saying.

"We're in a rich vein of form at the minute which has been helped by players coming back into the squad.

"First and foremost, we have to maintain our defensive stability and if we do that we'll have a great chance of gaining another three points."

The Hammers will be without striker Andy Carroll for the clash as he continues to serve a three-match ban.
