Stewart Downing has backed West Ham United to earn a win at struggling Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
The out-of-form Hammers are in need of a positive result this weekend after losing four of their last six games in the Premier League.
However, with QPR fighting for survival at the wrong end of the table, Downing believes that West Ham will be made to work hard for the three points.
"We'll go to QPR now – it's a difficult game as they're playing for points massively, but if we can go there and score an early goal it'll put pressure on them," he told the club's official website.
"They've got a bit of confidence now having had a couple of good results. They were unlucky against Chelsea so it's going to be difficult for us, but I'm confident we can win it."
West Ham currently sit in 10th place in the Premier League table.
