Hammers looking for help

|

Two key games today will leave the Hammers knowing exactly what’s required at Stamford Bridge tomorrow [Sun].

With the games now levelling out, the two north London clubs have just a game in hand on us with Manchester United two points ahead on a level 32 games played with the Hammers.

The Old Trafford club travel to Arsenal with all of presumably supporting the Gooners for 90 minutes whilst Spurs travel to Brentford.

Given the remarkable recent form of the Bees and what they did to us that’s no straightforward trip and will hopefully leave us with a chance of reducing the points deficit with the Spuds to just two.

Wolves – two points behind us with a game in hand – are the only club seemingly with a chance of catching us and they too have a tricky looking fixture at Burnley.

After our experience against the Clarets last weekend  that is not a game to be taken anything less than very seriously indeed.
