A win tonight would propel West Ham to 37 points and in the process significantly boost their chances of survival.
West Ham United's Marko Arnautovic celebrates scoring their second goal against Stoke.
The appointment of Paul Lambert seemed an odd one at the time, but the new boss briefly won over a few doubters by beating Huddersfield 2-0 in his first game in charge.
"You always think 40 points is safe". The Championship seemingly beckons.
Sadly Stoke's away record is the worst in the division - there has been just one win, back in October, and a total haul of a meagre eight points.
David Moyes has been able to keep an unchanged side, as Joe Hart keeps his place in goal, and will be protected by a back five of Pablo Zabaleta, Declan Rice, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku, with Cresswell passed fit after recent injury concerns.

Chemical weapons inspectors to start work as rebels leave Douma
In France, the conservatives, the far-left and the far-right have all criticised the strikes. Rescue workers said scores of people died in that incident.
"It would have done us the world of good to get the three points but it was a great finish by Andy".
And if we're being honest, it's impossible to make a case for Stoke going to the London Stadium and taking all three points.
Following the win against Southampton, the Hammers picked up a creditable 1-1 draw at Chelsea, and they would fancy their chances against the Potters, who are on a poor run of form. The neutral must want as many teams as possible to go into the final day at risk of disaster, and in particular for the one fixture that day that pits two struggling-but-not-yet-completely-doomed sides against each other - Swansea v Stoke - to be a win-or-bust spectacular.
Hart was outstanding in the Hammers previous game against Chelsea and earned a man of the match display as his side came away with a crucial point in a draw at Stamford Bridge.
- Peter Crouch is now on 16 sub goals in the Premier League (level with Javier Hernandez); only four players have more (Defoe 24, Giroud 19, Kanu 17 and Solskjaer 17). In his first game back, he made a mistake for a goal in a 3-0 loss at Burnley on March 10, and this one against Stoke was nearly an exact replica as he fumbled a shot in front of him by Xherdan Shaqiri. "I can't fault the effort or commitment, and we'll see what happens". Take the 13/10 on offer about his doing so.
