West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green is convinced they can shock Chelsea this weekend.

It has not been the best of weeks for Avram Grant and his squad, with extra-time defeat in the Carling Cup final to Tottenham at Wembley followed by reports of a bust-up between captain John Terry and coach Henk ten Cate.

"In true West Ham style it seems to be the games where we excel," said former Norwich goalkeeper Green.

"Chelsea had a big game on Sunday and they have a big [Champions League] game on the Wednesday after our game and you know they won't be looking forward to coming to Upton Park.

"I don't think anyone ever does really.

"Between ourselves and the fans we can make it as intimidating as possible and really get stuck into them."
