West Ham boss Moyes unsure how to handle Chelsea ace Hazard

West Ham boss David Moyes is unsure how they can combat Eden Hazard against Chelsea today.

Hazard has been a constant threat for Antonio Conte's side this season, scoring five in the Premier League thus far, and Moyes admitted that shutting down the Belgian would require special plans.

The Scotsman did, though, reveal concerns that he may not have a player capable of man marking the Blues No.10.

“I think there are occasions where I would consider man marking, I think Hazard is a player who would definitely come into that category," Moyes told reporters on Friday.

“I think I've done it in the past with other players like David Silva at Manchester City.

“My problem is, I don't know if I've got someone who is that type of player to be a man marker who, you know – you've heard the sayings 'if he goes to the toilet, follow him' I don't know if I've got that.

“I think that on a good day you might have to deal with Hazard as an individual at the moment."
