Three ways West Ham can pull off an upset against Chelsea

|

1. By listening to the fans

It’s going to be extremely loud in the London Stadium come the game. The ground’s best atmosphere so far this season came in the Hammers’s FA Cup win against the Blues and with fortunes hiding a little less since then, West Ham’s fans are going to blow the roof off. The players need to capitalise on what will be an extremely antagonistic atmosphere towards Antonio Conte’s players under the lights. They should use the voices of 54,000 passionate Hammers like wind in their sails and fight to the very last. West Ham under Slaven Bilic are best when they are wound up and playing at a high tempo, and if the players are able to use the atmosphere to their advantage they could stun Chelsea yet again.
