WEST HAM defender James Tomkins knows the importance of a win when Aston Villa come to Upton Park on Saturday.
Villa are still not safe from the drop themselves.
Tomkins, speaking to West Ham TV, said: "Villa is a huge game. It's a six-pointer. They are a good team, but we must remember we are a good team as well."
The Hammers have just six games left in which to preserve their Premier League survival.
