MARK Noble is confident three wins from their last five games can save West Ham from relegation.
The Hammers were beaten 2-1 against Aston Villa at Upton Park on Saturday, and face Chelsea and Manchester City in the league over the next two weeks.
The season will be drawn to a close with games against Blackburn, Wigan and Sunderland.
But Noble believes survival is possible.
“We've got five games to go and two tough games coming up, but we probably just need to win three of those games and hopefully we'll be OK,” he told the club's website.
“It's going to be tough but I'm pretty sure we're going to fight until the end.
“In this league everyone is beating everyone, but if we could win all five games that would be nice. We have got to win our homes games and then we've got Wigan away which is a tough game to go there and win, but if we can do that, fingers crossed we'll be OK.”
