West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski says they'll need cool heads in the middle of a relegation battle.

The Hammers will watch on nervously on Thursday evening as a win for either Aston Villa or Bournemouth could pull them back to being just one point from the relegation zone after defeat to Burnley on Wednesday.

“All the teams in this position have this in the back of their minds about getting away from the relegation zone and every single game feels like an FA Cup final where there are a lot of things at stake," said Fabianski. "That is always somewhere there in your mind, so you have to remain calmer in those situations and believe in your abilities, in your game plan and stay cool in tricky moments.

“If you do that, you are able to put in really good performances."
