Rodney Marsh says West Ham United should start Michail Antonio and Mark Noble against Chelsea

West Ham United suffered their sixth defeat of the Premier League campaign at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, and the result left them just two places and three points above the relegation zone after 13 games.

The Hammers found themselves 3-0 down 49 minutes into the game, but late goals from Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna gave them a glimmer of hope.

It was too little too late, though, and there is now a lot of pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini more than before.

Goalkeeper Roberto was very poor once again, doing very little to prevent Son Heung-min’s goal, and while West Ham continue to miss the impact of the injured Lukasz Fabianski, they were handed a massive injury boost over the weekend as Antonio returned to action.
