West Ham take on four of the top six in their next four games.
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has told the London Evening Standard that their win over Chelsea in the EFL Cup shows they are prepared for their upcoming run of tough fixtures.
The Hammers enjoyed themselves against the so-called big sides last season, picking up 25 points from a possible 36 against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
They will be hoping to repeat that form over the next month as they face fixtures against Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Those four are all currently sitting in the top six in the table meaning West Ham’s run is a tough on, to say the least.
They already have experience of beating a top four team this seasons after beating Chelsea in the EFL Cup last month and Bilic says that win proves they cope with these games.
“It is a very tough schedule,” he told the London Evening Standard.
“But we have seen how we played against top teams last year. We beat Chelsea, one of the top teams, here in the cup. Four games plus one cup game against Manchester United, but we have to get ourselves ready.”

West Ham will certainly be hoping they can pick up some points from these upcoming games.
They are already in danger this season, sitting 17th in the table and just a point outside of the relegation zone after 11 games.
Wins are desperately needed and a big one against one of the so-called big teams could be the spark that their season needs.
