Slaven Bilic: 'Home form must improve'

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has admitted that his team "need to change" their home form if they are to pull away from the relegation zone after a disappointing start to the campaign.

The Hammers have only won one of their four Premier League matches at the London Stadium this term, while just two victories from eight matches have left them down in 15th spot in the table.

Ahead of Saturday's home match with basement club Sunderland, Bilic has called on his players to start producing performances in their new stadium, where Watford and Southampton have won this term.

"We have one win from four home games in the Premier League. Opponents are hoping to capitalise on that in a new stadium. It is our home and we need to change that," Bilic told reporters.

West Ham's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace last weekend was their first league success since beating Bournemouth on August 21.
