Manager Sam Allardyce again attracted the ire of West Ham's supporters during a 1-0 Premier League defeat at West Brom last weekend.
Saido Berahino scored the only goal of the game as the Upton Park outfit were consigned to a fourth consecutive loss, prompting some travelling fans to call for the former Newcastle United boss to be sacked.
The experienced Allardyce took the criticism on the chin, stating that it was "part of the job", but with his side five points above the relegation zone, he will be eager to secure at least a draw in their last home game of the season against Tim Sherwood's side on Saturday.
While relegation looks highly unlikely for West Ham, if they can stop the rot in this weekend's derby then they will be all-but assured of safety.
He said: "It would be absolutely fantastic to beat them at home, having beaten them in the Capital One Cup and in the league.
"At this moment in time, our concerns are: one, we were one of the best clean sheets in the league eight or nine games ago and we haven't kept one since then.
"That's been our demise that has caused us a few problems. Two: and it's been the case all season, that the chances created have always been there, but our conversion rate when you look at the stats hasn't been good enough."
On-loan striker Marco Borriello (calf) is West Ham's only absentee.
