David Moyes still wary of West Ham relegation threat despite Chelsea draw

David Moyes is already looking ahead to West Ham's crunch clash with Stoke City after holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

West Ham found themselves a goal down after 36 minutes when Cesar Azpilicueta prodded home from a corner.

But Moyes' decision to send on Javier Hernandez in the 70th minute paid off within just three as the Mexican combined with Marko Arnautovic to restore parity and seal a point that keeps the Hammers six points above the relegation zone.

West Ham's next game is at home to Stoke City, who sit in 19th place in the Premier League standings and Moyes admitted his attentions have already turned to that game.

"I'm not disappointed," he told reporters. "I thought we played against a really slick Chelsea team, particularly in the first half, and I was happy to get in only 1-0 down.

"We gave away a really poxy first goal. If it had been a really good footballing goal... it was a bad goal. But we were always in with a chance at 1-0.

"It's not comfortable enough [West Ham's position in the table]. From where we are, I want to try and push on. We've picked up four points from two games.

"After the situation against Burnley, the club and the team have done a brilliant job, and the supporters... the way they gave their tribute to Ray Wilkins was a credit.”

When then asked if the visit of Stoke on April 16 could prove to be West Ham's most crucial game of the season, Moyes replied: "Yes, it is.

"We'll get ready for that one and, if we perform the way we've been doing, we'll give ourselves a great chance."
