West Ham Will Approach Chelsea Game Like Cup Final

West Ham United midfielder Edson Álvarez says the Hammers will approach their Premier League clash against Chelsea like a cup final.

The Mexican international, who was frustrated with the team’s 1-1 draw against Fulham on Saturday, told the club’s website that the team is confident to overcome the Blues.

“It’s not been an easy start, but in England every game feels like a final. Next up we have Chelsea, which will be tough as well, but we’ll be confident playing at our home ground, where the fans will be right behind us.

“I always love lining up with Guido, who I know well from my time at Club América in Mexico.

“But I have lots of good teammates, and I know regardless of who’s playing, they’ll be up to the task. The longer the season goes on, the more chemistry we’ll build up, so we’re confident of success.”
