West Ham vs Swansea takes place on Saturday in the English Premier League with the Hammers desperately trying to get a grip back on their season, which over recent months has seen them slide down the table. The game is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. UK time and can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

The good news for the Hammers is that Andy Carroll is getting fitter by the day, and although he is likely to only start on the bench he is nearing match fitness and could be a vital player as West Ham push to get to the magic 40 point mark that should ensure their Premier League survival.

However, West Ham will still be without defenders George McCartney, James Collins and Dan Potts, meaning the rest of the team will have to pull together to keep things tight at the back against a talented Swansea line up.

Joe Cole, Marouane Chamakh, Wellington Paulista and Emanuel Pogatetz have all been added to the Hammers’ squad over the January transfer window, and West Ham fans will be hoping that the new blood in the squad can bring fresh life to their campaign which has stuttered in a big way over recent weeks.

The Hammers have won just one in their last nine EPL games and another run of form like that would surely plunge West Ham into the middle of the relegation dog fight.

West Ham are currently in 13th place and have 27 points from their 24 games so far. If they can win today it would move them to within 10 points of their points goal for safety with still 13 games to go.

Swansea meanwhile have had a fantastic season and are flying high in 8th spot in the EPL table. They will be able to play today with a lot less pressure on them and that could prove vital in such a tense and tightly fought game.
