West Ham fans will be looking forward to the Premier League game at the Amex tonight after their season has turned a corner.

Wins over Everton and Man United, and an impressive 0-0 with Chelsea, will have given supporters real hope that they can challenge in the top-half of the table this season.

And it’s testament to how well they’re playing that Manuel Pellegrini could easily named an unchanged line-up for tonight’s game.
