West Ham are only one point off safety following Sunday's fixture between Nottingham Forest and Everton.
David Moyes' side were soundly beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, denying them the opportunity to widen the gap between themselves and the bottom three.
Relegation rivals Forest and Everton squared off on Sunday afternoon, with the Toffees going ahead through a Demarai Gray penalty.

The Tricky Trees fought back minutes later through Brennan Johnson, only for Abdoulaye Doucoure to put the visitors ahead heading into half-time.
Had the scoreline remained the same, the Hammers would have dropped down one place to 17th and ended the weekend one place above the relegation zone due to Everton leapfrogging them in the table.
But Johnson doubled his goal tally for the afternoon and pulled the hosts level, meaning Everton remained in the bottom three on 22 points and West Ham stayed 16th - still a point above the drop with 13 games remaining.
