Mido was singled out for praise by Gianfranco Zola for his tireless efforts at Arsenal but has already turned his full focus to Tuesday's test.
Rather than dwell on a hard-working display at the Emirates Stadium, the Egyptian forward spoke instead of his eagerness to get off the mark for the Hammers - something he has yet to do since his January loan move from Middlesbrough, via Zamalek SC in his homeland. The pivotal visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers offers him the perfect chance.

"For strikers sometimes you just need a goal to get more confidence," the 27-year-old said. "That is what I need now. I have been working hard to get fit and I feel much better than when I first came. We have to only think about the next couple of games.
"We have had a difficult run and I don't think many teams would have got results from the last three games at Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. The next two [including Stoke City's visit on Saturday] are different. They are must-win and we have to do that."
Mido has begun the last two matches and will battle with Carlton Cole, Benni McCarthy, Guille Franco and Ilan for a third straight start. Regardless of who is selected he said the togetherness in the squad was clear to see at Chadwell Heath.
"We are just looking forward to the next couple of games. We know it is crucial for us, crucial for the club and crucial for the fans. We just want to win."
