Mauricio Pochettino explains why Chelsea face 'the most dangerous game' vs West Ham

Just days after an impressive win over Tottenham, Chelsea are facing West Ham — and the Blues should not let off against a supposedly weaker opponent.

"It is the most dangerous game because now we have to keep the same mentality for Sunday," Mauricio Pochettino said.

"We are playing a team who are so strong, have physicality and West Ham are having a fantastic season and have been competing in Europe.

"For us, we need to recover the players. We do not have too many options to add fresh people to the squad and they have had the whole week to prepare. That is why the most dangerous games are coming."

West Ham are just two points behind Chelsea who are still chasing a place in European competitions.
