Sam Allardyce has insisted that West Ham United need one more win to be safe from Premier League relegation.

The Hammers drew 0-0 at Liverpool this afternoon to move on to 37 points.

"I'd like another three points," he said. "Some of the teams below us are picking up two or three wins back-to-back, but we are looking up, not down."

The West Ham boss also had praise for his defence, who nullified Liverpool's attack.

Allardyce added: "I don't think we've defended better away from home all season."

West Ham's next game is away at Southampton on Saturday.
