West Ham take on Sunderland at Upton Park hoping to build upon their 5-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup 5th round clash last week.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is expected to start Emmanuel Emenike after he bagged a brace in the Blackburn win on his first full debut for the club.
West Ham are of course no strangers to Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce who was in charge of the club until last summer.
Sunderland are currently 19th in the league in the midst of a relegation battle with 12 games remaining. The Hammers are 7th on 40 points and could in theory end the week in 5th place if the other fixtures go their way.
