EPL round 13: West Ham vs Blackpool
Premier League bottom placed West Ham United will face Blackpool at the back of two 2-all draws.
In their last two matches, the Hammers have taken the lead only for the opposition to score and end up drawing 2-all.
So in the past six matches they have drawn four and lost two and the two lost matches were lost to Manchester United and Arsenal, both away matches.
The Seasiders on the other hand have enjoyed mixed form in their last six matches where they actually accumulated a total of seven points from two wins and one draw.
What makes this match very interesting is that it will be viewed as winnable by both teams.
A win for the Hammers will see them stay in the relegation zone but possibly as bottom placed depending on the Wigan and Wolverhampton matches.
A win for Blackpool could see them rise as far as seventh place on the ladder depending on other matches.
