West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald is braced for a tough encounter against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
Stoke have one win in five matches and McDonald hopes the Hammers can extend the hosts' poor run, having pushed high-flying Tottenham close on Monday night only for Gareth Bale to score twice to seal a 3-2 victory for his side at Upton Park. McDonald added: "You always have to take something positive. Apart from Gareth Bale on Monday scoring two goals we've acquitted ourselves really well against a top-four team. "If we do that away from home, we've got every chance of getting a result."
