House is so shaky

- By JAKE BACON

® MARTIN OLSSON says Swansea can capitalise on West Ham’s home woes.

The Hammers have struggled for form at the London Stadium this season, winning just five league games.

Last year’s move to the stunning 80,000-seater stadium was meant to help them reach the next level, but they are now serious relegation candidates.

And Olsson reckons Swansea can drag the Hammers deep into trouble today.

He said: “They are not playing as well as they can at home so that will make a difference.

“Upton Park was a really tough place to go and they have not collected points like they did last season.

Deep

“It will be tough but I am confident we can get a result if we work hard. It will not necessaril­y be about pretty football, it will be about digging deep.”

Swansea have dropped back into the relegation zone after losing three of their last four games.

They have the Premier League’s leakiest defence, conceding 66 goals this term.

But Olsson, 28, insists a win today can kick-start their revival.

The Swedish defender added: “We don’t want to be where we are. One result can flip the momentum and change how the table looks.

“This has not been a good run, but West Ham are on a bad one too, so we have a big chance to go and get something.”
