Slaven Bilic has highlighted the importance of West Ham United gaining positive results at Upton Park.

The Hammers have saluted three times on the road this season, and no less against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, but have been beaten at home by Bournemouth and Leicester City.

Last time out in East London, the third-placed side got the better of lowly Newcastle United and now need to repeat the dose when they host Norwich City on Saturday in pursuit of a fourth-straight victory.

"The last home game we won against Newcastle and it was crucial then to win that first home game, which we didn't do against Leicester and Bournemouth," said Bilic.

"Of course it would be nice (to keep the winning run up) and it's important to keep that winning streak going. It would be nice to get four wins out of four but we know this is the Premier League.

"Norwich are a really good team, not just because it's a Premier League team but because they've started really well. They defend as a unit and you can't hurt them with predictable passes."
