West Ham's new star, Obinna have finally found his feet in the West Ham side after transferring over on loan from Inter. The Nigerian is on top form at the moment, netting five goals in the last two matches. His second against Sunderland was a superb 25meter beauty and with the addition of Robbie Keane, West Ham can easily avoid the drop. They have the experience in the top level and are certainly mroe proven than the other W teams in the bottom half.

Today's match at Upton is all the more important given that two fo these sides are in the dorp zone at this moment and with the struggling sides picking up crucial points yesterday, it is imperative that both sides go all out for the points. Birmingham have one of the weakest strike force in the league and I really cant find a probable outlet for them to score today. Three of the Brummies last four visits to West Ham have ended in defeats and I expect the Hammers to exert revenge from their Carling Cup defeat at St Andrews last week.
