Slaven Bilic hints at Enner Valencia start for West Ham United against Chelsea

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has suggested that Enner Valencia could make his first Premier League appearance of the season on Saturday against Chelsea.

Ecuadorian striker Valencia is yet to play this season because of a knee injury but was included in the matchday squad for last weekend's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.

At his pre-match press conference, Bilic also revealed that defender Winston Reid will sit out again with a hip injury.

"Winston Reid is out, he isn't going to make it for this game. It is nothing major but he will not play," Bilic told reporters.

"All the others are back, Enner Valencia is back he was on the bench against Palace. He could start, we will see."

West Ham go into the match fourth in the Premier League, eight places and six points better off than reigning champions Chelsea.
