Because of their poor start to the season, it’s easy to forget just how strong West Ham’s team is potentially.
They made a lot of summer signings, but it’s in the wing positions that they really made a splash.
They bought Felipe Anderson from Lazio and Anriy Yarmolenko from Borussia Dortmund, both for big fees.
Those are to truly top players, who were playing at Champions League level. Both had been linked with moves to the very biggest teams in Europe at some point.
So Chelsea, who have won 6 on the spin now, must be very careful not to underestimate the Hammers, especially playing at the London Stadium.
That dangerous pair out wide could wreak havoc, especially down Marcos Alonso’s side as we saw against Arsenal. Both looked to be finding their feet in the last set of fixtures, and it would be just our lucky if they step it up again against us.
