2. By gettingĀ the ball wide
West Ham aren’t likely to get much joy through the middle with three Chelsea centre backs waiting to snuff out attacks the way they have done so impressively all season. Added to that is the presence of N’Golo Kante, who will sit deep in the centre and tackle, intercept and run all day. Without Michail Antonio the Hammers will lack a certain amount of width but it is absolutely vital that they don’t get drawn narrow. Andre Ayew, Robert Snodgrass and Sofiane Feghouli, as well as wing backs Aaron Cresswell and Cheikhou Kouyate will need to be on their game.
