The West Ham United boss is confident that his side can cause an upset against Tottenham Hotspur.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini spoke to reporters during his press conference today, and insisted that his side are well capable of beating Tottenham at their new stadium tomorrow, as quoted by Football.London.
Spurs have won all four of their games at their new home, whilst the Hammers are in the midst of a woeful run of form, having taken just one point from their last four Premier League games.
Pellegrini’s men have little to play for this season, with a top half finish the best that they can really hope for, whilst Mauricio Pochettino’s side are still confident of finishing inside the top four.
West Ham will certainly have their work cut-out against Tottenham tomorrow, but when speaking to reporters today, Pellegrini offered one particular reason why his side could have an advantage over Tottenham, as quoted by Football.London:
“You can beat them because they are a team doing a brilliant season, well in the Premier League and in the semi final of the Champions League but maybe they are playing so many games, it is not easy for them when they have so many injured players.”
West Ham have won only four league games away from home all season long, and there is nothing they would love more than to eb the first team to win in Tottenham’s new home.
The game kicks off at 12:30 and can be seen exclusively live on Sky Sports.
