West Ham United face the daunting prospect of a clash with Chelsea on Monday night.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic spoke to the media about his side’s recent improvement in form, and explained why he is confident that they can cause an upset by beating league leaders Chelsea at the London Stadium on Monday night, as quoted by REUTERS.
West Ham have made huge strides since their struggles during the early stages of the 2016/17 Premier League campaign, and currently sit in ninth position in the table.
They are seven points adrift of eighth placed West Bromwich Albion, however, after failing to convert dominating performances into victories over the past two weeks.
And a win against Chelsea on Monday will surely be paramount if they are to mount a challenge for a place inside the top seven.
Bilic spoke to reporters regarding his side’s chances against Antonio Conte’s men, and chose to highlight four reasons why he has full faith in his players ahead of what is a crucial game in their campaign, as quoted by REUTERS:

“We are good physically, we are good mentally, we are good on the ball, we are good in transition, and that is why there is always belief.”
If the Hammers can replicate their performance against the Blues in the EFL Cup earlier on this season, then they have every chance of emerging victorious from the game against the West Londoners on Monday.
And if they can win the game, a place inside the top seven will still be an achievable target for Bilic and co.
