Hayden Mullins is relishing the prospect of taking on the likes of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole when West Ham United go to Chelsea on Saturday.
The midfielder returned from a foot injury to play an important role alongside Mark Noble last weekend in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur and will not be overawed by the next capital challenge for all the strength of the opposition. "We won't go there and fear them at all," he said. "We know they are a great side and we know they are a hard team."
Mullins pointed to successes on the road this season with the club coming away with points from difficult places to play like Reading and Portsmouth. "It is a good game for us to go there and hit them on the break. We have done that to a lot of teams away from home. We look quite good doing it and we know what we can do."
The 28-year-old believed the return of players like Scott Parker and Dean Ashton and the sustained good form of the back four and the likes of Carlton Cole ensured there was every chance of upsetting the odds at Stamford Bridge. "Who knows? A couple of chances and a bit of luck on the day and hopefully we can nick something," he added.
