West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has stressed that his players need to be at their best to get a result against Chelsea tomorrow as Jose Mourinho’s men rarely put a foot wrong.
Chelsea are expected to be in a confident mood when they arrive at Upton Park tomorrow evening after their League Cup success on Sunday and will have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table over Manchester City by eight points.
On the other hand West Ham will be looking to bounce back from a demoralising 3-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace last weekend to get their season back on track.
With eleven league games left in the season, Chelsea are the favourites to win the league title and Allardyce knows exactly why Mourinho’s men are being backed to land the big prize.
The West Ham boss stressed that the current Chelsea team rarely make a mistake or take their foot off the peddle, which explains their big lead at the top of the Premier League table.
