West Ham have an opportunity to return to the Premier League's top three today when they face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
A win for Big Sam's boys in the North East this afternoon would send them back above Manchester United, who face Liverpool at Old Trafford tomorrow afternoon.For those unable to attend the game in person, live updates will be provided throughout the afternoon on the official KUMB Forum match thread.
Meanwhile any live video streams will be listed in our 2014/15 season Live Streaming thread at kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=153907. As always, you use these at your own peril.
KUMB.com will, as always, bring you a match summary at the final whistle, with the thoughts of both Sam Allardyce and his opposite number Roberto Martinez to follow later this evening.
Meanwhile why not join Preview Percy for all the facts, figures and words of abject nonsense before the game, in his weekly match preview...
