"We have to be careful and make sure they don't get their first win of the season against us on Saturday.
"We'll approach the game in the same way we do every game. We analyse our positions, the opposition and see what their strengths and weaknesses are.
"Like every team they'll areas we can exploit. It'll be a tough game, they always are against newly promoted teams, especially away but we're all looking forward to it after a long international break."
Having kept their first clean sheet with a 2-0 win over Queens Park Ranger's, Reid is hoping it proves to be the first of many: "As a defender it's one of my main jobs to keep the ball out of the back of the net. It was nice to get our first clean sheet against QPR. We got 14 clean sheets last year so hopefully we can build on that."
The Kiwi is pleased with his run in the team and believes it has helped him to play his best football.
"I think continuity is important for all players. Ultimately it's up to you to do well in training, force your way into the team and then keep your position. We have a big squad now, so a lot of guys are waiting to come into the side. If anyone does slip up I'm sure they'll be ready to step in."
Reflecting on the Hammers' bright start the season, he continued: "The first couple of games we didn't get the results we wanted but in September we've done pretty well. We got some important wins, especially at home we're starting to hit some form, so it's been good.
"I think the Liverpool game was a big turning point for us. With us being at home and considering they had a fantastic season last year, that was a fantastic win for us. It was good for our confidence as well."
Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Reid is confident the Hammers are set for a successful year.
"I think top ten is a reasonable aim, we've got the squad to do that with the new players that have come in. It's really depends on us, it's in our hands.
"We need to keep getting points on the board. Apart from that we need to stick to the basics that we've doing so well. Keep improving as a team and individuals, and we'll do well."
