West Ham captain Kurt Zouma: We know importance of Chelsea clash

West Ham captain Kurt Zouma says they'll be up for today's clash with Chelsea.

The Hammers need a result to keep their Euro hopes alive.

“We're feeling good, and we're all going to give everything until the end of the season," Zouma told the club's website. “We're still fighting to qualify for Europe, and we've got three cup finals left.

“Last week was a good result for us. We looked solid at the back and dangerous up front, particularly in the first half, and they're a good side so we have to be pleased to have come back and got the point.'

He added: “There have been ups and downs, but we've played well and followed our plan, and ultimately I think we've done well.

“Football is my life, and I'm very lucky to be the captain of this amazing team, especially with a great group of players, top players, inside and outside the pitch.

“My focus now is on the last three games, then we will see where we are and how we can keep improving."
