Sunderland are the visitors to the Boleyn Ground on Saturday as West Ham United look to record consecutive home wins in the Barclays Premier League for the first time this season.
The Hammers beat Fulham on home turf to record just a second win in seven league matches in front of their own fans and they will be hoping to make that three against Gus Poyet's side.
Here whufc.com takes a look back at six memorable home wins over the Mackems.
West Ham United 3-1 Sunderland
Premier League
21 October 2007
The Hammers were ahead as early as the ninth minute when Carlton Cole rose highest to head a George McCartney cross past Craig Gordon.
After half-time Kenwyne Jones pulled his team back level with a firm header which found the bottom corner of the net, but it was ultimately one of his teammates who would concede an unfortunate winner.
Gordon was laid on the turf as a Nolberto Solano effort cannoned off the post and struck his outstretched leg, rolling into the net much to the keeper's despair. It was a killer blow with just 12 minutes left and further misery was heaped on the visitors when Craig Bellamy nipped into score a third in the last few minutes.

West Ham moved out of the bottom three for the first time in four months with a much needed victory at home to Sunderland.
The attacking trio of Jermain Defoe, Frederic Kanoute and Les Ferdinand gave the Mackems defence the run around as the Hammers took all three points.
Defoe got the first midway through the opening period when he swivelled and placed a shot past Thomas Sorensen. Kanoute replaced the injured Ferdinand at half-time and put the game to bed with a cool finish.

A brace from Mark Robson inspired West Ham to a thumping win over Sunderland in 1992.
There were also goals for Alvin Martin, Martin Allen, Trevor Morley and Kevin Keen as the Wearsiders left east London empty handed.
The emphatic win sent the Hammers up to fifth in the table in a season which they went onto finish second in the league, gaining promotion to the Premier League.

Eamonn Dolan was the catalyst for a big home win over the Mackems as the Hammers continued their good early season form.
A crowd of just over 20,000 turned up to see Dolan net twice, half of his tally for the season, with three of his teammates also getting in on the act.
Kevin Keen, Martin Allen and Stuart Slater scored a goal apiece to round off a miserable day for their visitors from the North East.

Geoff Hurst ran riot against The Black Cats, netting an incredible double hat-trick as the Hammers recorded a huge win.
Hurst stole the show with six goals of his own but Trevor Brooking and Bobby Moore also managed to get their names on the score sheet.
The striker's haul helped to take him to an impressive 31 goals by the end of the season as he helped fire West Ham to an eighth place finish whilst Sunderland were well below them finishing 17th.
