West Ham striker Michail Antonio knows the importance of today's clash at Chelsea.
Victory at Stamford Bridge would lift West Ham back above Chelsea to eighth and keep their Euro hopes alive.
Obviously Chelsea are a quality team but, right now, they've been playing hot and cold and when they turn up, they turn up and play very well, but when they don't, they don't, so we're going into the game not in the best of form ourselves, but doing alright," he told whufc.com. It just depends what team turns up on the day at Chelsea.
Cole Palmer has been quality this season. He's got 20 goals. He's doing well, but their manager came out and said 'we want to show we're not just a Cole Palmer team' and find other ways to win games. Hopefully we can keep him quiet this weekend and get the points we need to get to Europe.
They've definitely improved since we played them in August. Obviously, with a new manager coming in, they had to find a way to play under his new ways and his philosophy. I feel that, as much as they have improved, they are still hot and cold and still working out his philosophy and working out how they play with each other under his regime."
