West Ham United could be relegated due to two 'poor decisions' in their last two games according to former Premier League winner Chris Sutton.
The Hammers lost 2-1 to Liverpool in midweek and then suffered a 4-3 defeat to Crystal Palace during the Saturday lunchtime kick-off at Selhurst Park.
Both results saw David Moyes' side on the wrong end of referee decisions that ultimately cost them the game and potentially their place in the Premier League.

The fixture against Liverpool saw West Ham denied a penalty when Thiago stopped the ball with his hand after striker Danny Ings tried to get past him in the box.
VAR looked at the incident and decided to stick with the referee's initial decision, the score at the time being 2-1 and staying that way until the final whistle.
Days later, Palace's Eberechi Eze was awarded a penalty after defender Nayef Aguerd was adjudged to have pulled his shirt in the box, Eze stepping up to dispatch the spotkick to make the score 4-2.
Sutton has had his say on both incidents, claiming it could be the difference between playing in the Premier League or Championship from August.
"Do you know what? It wasn't a penalty. I thought Eze dived, went down too easily," said Sutton on BBC Radio Show 606
"But West Ham were wronged against Liverpool... ultimately two poor decisions could send West Ham down."
