As West Ham prepare for trips to both Chelsea and Arsenal it is their home form that will decide their fate, according to Kieron Dyer.
Following a poor performance in the defeat at home to Bolton last weekend the Hammers now have two incredibly difficult away trips to two of the title challengers.
Dyer though, who returned to the squad last weekend after injury, believes that it is the home games that will determine their eventual finishing position.
"For the team the next two games won't have a bearing on whether we stay in the league or not," Dyer said.
"I still believe if we can do well in our home games and possibly against Fulham away, if we do well there, I believe we will stay in the league."
