Joey O'Brien: 'West Ham United need six points'

Joey O'Brien believes that West Ham need maximum points from their next two games in the Premier League.

West Ham United defender Joey O'Brien has claimed that the team need maximum points from their next two games as they look to avoid relegation.

The Hammers are currently above the drop zone on goal difference following Saturday's 3-0 defeat at home to Chelsea.

O'Brien now believes that wins against fellow strugglers Fulham and Crystal Palace will help the side ease their survival fears.

"The home form is a concern for us, particularly not scoring goals," he told the club's official website. "That's the main issue, and the next two games are massive.

"We find ourselves in a fight and we need six points. Both ourselves and Fulham are in need of the three points next week and we'll be doing our best for them."

West Ham welcome Fulham to Upton Park on Saturday.
