    More from Sir Trevor Brooking, this time on the upcoming World Cup qualifier between England and Scotland: "I'd love to see Gareth Southgate get the England job. I know him well and I think he could do a good job.

    BBC Radio 5 live

    West Ham legend Sir Trevor Brooking has been speaking about the Hammers' current predicament on BBC Radio 5 live: "West Ham had a great year last year and the football was great to watch. This one was always going to be a tough season moving to a new stadium.

    "They started slowly but have played better in the last three weeks. Stoke is a hard game today, and after the international break they have a tough run, so they could do with a win today."

    It's never easy to get over (leaving Liverpool) but Joe Allen's put it to one side. He was used as a sitting midfielder and I always thought he passed the ball sideways a lot, but I felt he had more to his game.

    This season, Mark Hughes has played him in a number 10 position. He's anticipating and getting goals.

    If you think West Ham had enough problems trying to make their new home an environment which combines safety and atmosphere, you should take a look at their fixture list.

    Following this game against resurgent Stoke, the Hammers have Spurs away, Manchester United away, Arsenal at home and Liverpool away as their next four league games - with another trip to Old Trafford in the EFL Cup for good measure.

    Currently 17th, West Ham will do well not to be in the bottom three at the end of that sequence.

    Not that playing Stoke could be described as a bit of light relief. After their own iffy spell, Mark Hughes and his men are now on their best run in four years.
