Midfielder "West Ham" Andrei Yarmolenko is confident that his team is able to defeat Chelsea in the 6th round of the championship of England.

"Chelsea are a good team with great players, but we are absolutely not afraid of them. The match will be held at our stadium and therefore we must show our game, demonstrate to the fans that we are playing for them, "the official site of the" hammers ".

Yarmolenko also paid tribute to the main star of the "blue" Eden Azar, but hopes that the team will be able to stop the Belgian and break the winning streak of "aristocrats".

"Azar is one of the best players in the Premier League, it will be difficult to stop him, but we will try. "Chelsea" won 5 of 5 matches at the start of the championship. They have a new head coach and a new style of play. Sarri is a very good specialist, his attacking philosophy is built on short passes.

It is very difficult to play against teams with such tactics.

But if we show our game and everyone comes out on the field with the belief that we will defeat them, then we will be able to do it, "said Yarmolenko.

Note that Andrew will come out on the game with the "blue" in the starting lineup. This is the second consecutive appearance of Yarmolenko in the Premier League from the first minutes.

London derby between West Ham and Chelsea will take place on Sunday, September 23, the beginning of the match at 15:30.
