Robert Snodgrass hopes the fans who were doubting the Hammers after the awdful start have found some reassurance after the fine win at Everton.

And he insists: ““We are a very good team and when you get the confidence from winning away from home, you need to take it back to your home stadium and win there too.”

And with the issues that have surrounded the London Stadium there may be a problem at home and although Snoddy doesn’t say exactly that he added: “It’s up to us and the fans to get that bond between us in that stadium and that starts with winning football matches.”

“When you’re working hard and going forward and doing all the right things and giving everything for those fans, they’ll back you and support you because they’re as honest as the day is long and they’re there in their numbers.

“There are plenty of times, like the win over Tottenham in my first season at the club [in May 2017], when the atmosphere in that stadium has been unbelievable. We beat them on a Friday night and the place was electric.

The Scot insists there should be no fear of Chelsea this weekend adding: “The most important thing for us was to get that win on Sunday and give ourselves confidence to go into these games believing we can beat Chelsea and believing we can beat the best teams.
