Antonio experiment may end tonight

Slaven Bilic may be on the brink of ditching the Michail Antonio right back experiement by calling up Reece Burke to fill the role.

That’s the shout from the training ground and it could happen this evening with Sam Byram switching to the left side of the back four.

But although Michael disappered down the Stamford Bridge tunnel in what appeared to be a strop on Monday night the view is that he was deeply diappointed with his own error which led to a Chelsea penalty rather than anything else.

And although he and the manager had no contact in that moment ClaretandHugh has been told that there is no problem between the two and that it was all about the passion and emotion of the moment.

Antonio has travelled to Romania for tonight’s Europa Cup game and with Feghouli injured with a hamstring injury the Hammers terrace hero is being tipped to take up  up his natural role wide on the right with Reece in behind.

LIkely team: Randolph, Burke, Reid, Collins Byram; Obiang, Kouyate, Antonio, Noble, Valencia, Carroll.
