West Ham United defender Winston Reid has claimed that the team need to win when they face Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday evening.

Slaven Bilic's men currently sit 15th in the Premier League table having won two, drawn two and lost four.

At the weekend the Hammers were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley, while Andy Carroll was sent off for picking up two yellow cards inside two minutes.

"We will look to bounce back, we have a game against Brighton on Friday night and we have to win that game," Reid told the club's official website. "[Burnley] have had a good start to the season, but for me personally we have better players than them and that is no disrespect to Burnley.

"We had a very poor first three games and we have had some injuries, but we have got just about all our injured players back now and you could see there are good players that can't even get onto the bench.

"Hopefully we will do well this season, but we need to start picking up some more wins so that we can get further up the table."

West Ham have scored eight league goals so far this season.
