Scott Parker: West Ham v Hull is a relegation six-pointer

Scott Parker has admitted West Ham face a "massive game" against Hull next week after slipping back into the bottom three.

Gianfranco Zola's side were overtaken by the Tigers on Sunday and will spend the international break in 18th place after winning only twice this season.

"I don't think it's a good time to have a break," said the England midfielder.

"We obviously need to get on the training field and work on what we need to do and get a result at Hull.

"It's a massive game for us but I think every game this year is going to be massive. It's not happening for us at times.

"We're playing well but not picking up results. We're going to have to bounce back at Hull now. Big game."

But Parker insisted his side still had the "quality" to stay up despite selling several key players to balance the books at Upton Park.

"This happened to us last year," he said. "We had a run of bad results when we didn't really deserve it. But we'll get out of it.

“We've got too much quality. We have got a small squad and we sold key players, experienced players who know what the Premier League is about.

"But we've still got a lot of quality and we'd hope to win more games than we'd lose."

Junior Stanislas claimed West Ham's goal against Everton despite Tony Hibbert slicing his shot into the net.

"I've got to claim it, haven't I?" said the England U21 international. "Perhaps he should have cleared it, but thankfully it's gone in and given us a chance but we didn't take that chance."
