West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce will play to win at Sunderland on Monday night.
Victory at the Stadium of Light should all-but secure the Hammers' top-flight status and would allow Allardyce to plan for the future.
He said: "Let's go and try to win the game. The desperate need for Sunderland to win three points now means it's going to be hugely difficult.
"They will take some comfort out of their performance against Liverpool and will think this is a great chance to try to get to safety by getting three points against us."
