Aaron Cresswell is hoping for better luck than last season when West Ham face London rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
West Ham earned just a point from two meetings against Spurs last season, losing 1-0 at home thanks to a 93rd-minute Eric Dier strike before surrendering a two-goal lead in the last 10 minutes at White Hart Lane, with Harry Kane grabbing a 96th-minute equaliser.
Spurs are fifth in the table this season on 21 points, ahead of West Ham on goal difference.
"When the fixtures come out the Tottenham games are one of the ones we look for first," West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell told the club's website.
"Last season I think we were the better side and were unlucky not to win."
The defender is banking on his club's away form to see them through on Sunday. West Ham have won four of their six away matches in the league this season.
"We know it'll be a tough game. Every game is but our away form has been terrific so far," the 25-year-old said.
"We know that if we play to our best we have a very good chance, and that breeds a lot of confidence."
West Ham will be without injured midfielders Enner Valencia and Dimitri Payet, who was put out of commission after a tackle from Everton's James McCarthy in their last league game on November 7.
"These things happen in football, it wasn't the best of tackles," said Cresswell.
"We haven't had a game since Dimi's injury, so we haven't had to change formation or style yet. I'm sure that's what the manager has been thinking about a lot."
