West Ham's Grant remaining defiant

West Ham United manager Avram Grant has remained defiant despite comments from the club's chairman that they are a '25% chance of staying up'.

The Hammers currently sit at the foot of the Premier League table with four games remaining and Grant feels they can still fight for survival even if David Sullivan doesn't.

"I didn't read it, so I can't tell you [everything] but David is a businessman," he said.

"I think we have a chance to stay up. We are two points from the place that will keep us in the Premier League, and of course we can do it.

"We showed that even we had less chances before we played well and took points. Now we have four games to the end of the season.

"I don't know how the chances are by percent, I am not a businessman. What I can tell you, though, is that we have a good chance to stay and we will do everything to do it."

West Ham will be looking for all three points when they take on Manchester City at Eastlands on Sunday.
