West Ham defender Ogbonna calls for Arsenal focus

West Ham United defender Angelo Ogbonna has called on his teammates to forget their win over Chelsea and switch their attention to this Wednesday's clash with Arsenal.

The Hammers, still languishing in the relegation zone, earned a much need three points against the Blues on Saturday.

With a win against the Gunners at the London Stadium tomorrow night, David Moyes' side could jump out of the bottom three, if results go their way.

"We are already confident – we did really well against Manchester City," the defender said. "We didn't get any points that day, but we deserved the result against Chelsea.

"We are looking at the present, not at what happened today or yesterday. We have to concentrate and step ahead again [when we play Arsenal].

"We did a really great job against Chelsea, not just in defending but for everyone. The way Michail Antonio ran in behind was fantastic for us, and for me personally, it was a huge game.

"We'll need the fans with us too, like they always are. We saw great support from the fans against Leicester and Chelsea and it's really important to have them behind us."
