If ever a game was designed to bring the best from West Ham it is tomorrow night’ game against Liverpool.

After two shocking outings a game against the league leaders allows us to regain some shattered confidence against the league leaders recently held to a draw at Anfield by Leicester City.

Nothing, as Manuel Pellegrini has said, is impossible as again we saw with Newcastle beat Manchester City – in reality anybody can beat anybody.

But the Irons need to come back to the form which saw them beat Arsenal and Manchester United earlier in the season if they are to have the remotest hope of upsetting Liverpool’s title charge.

But the irritating thing is that should we do so it could give Spurs a boost in their bid to overhaul the merseysiders.

Pablo Zabaleta has been around long enough to understand the reality of life in the Premier League but he can’t work out the Hammers recent poor form.
