West Ham captain Declan Rice admits spirits are low after defeat at Tottenham.

The 2-0 reverse leaves West Ham inside the bottom three.

“When you come to Spurs, it is always going to be tough because of the players and quality they have," a dejected Rice told whufc.com, “but it is down to us to go on the pitch, put in a performance, try to create chances, score goals, and try to be a threat.

“Everyone is down and knows the position we are in but it is down to us to stay positive because it is only us who can change it.

“Obviously, there are six or seven teams in and around us. I have seen the results, but I am not too worried about how other teams are doing because we are the only ones who can change where we are. I am only bothered about us doing what we can week in and week out and it's a big one now against Forest."
