West Ham United will face Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has told the club’s official website that the players have been working very hard in training.
The Hammers will take on Southampton at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The London outfit are not in good form in the league at the moment and currently find themselves third from bottom in the table.
West Ham returned to winning ways this past Wednesday, getting the better of Accrington Stanley 1-0 at home in the third round of the EFL Cup.
Bilic has stated that the West Ham players have been training very hard ahead of the match against Southampton.
“I have seen that and we have also had a game so we had to prepare the players for the Cup game against Accrington,” Bilic told West Ham’s official website when asked if he has seen a reaction from the players in training this week.
“To be fair the players have always worked hard in training and we always train aggressive and intense. But the fact is we have to do it in games and we need to do it for ninety minutes.”
West Ham have been scoring goals, but their main problem this season has been at the back.
Bilic’s side have conceded far too many goals than they should have so far this campaign.
The West Ham fans will hope that the game against Southampton proves to be a turning point for the team.
The Hammers suffered a 4-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion away from home at The Hawthorns in the Premier League last weekend.
