George McCartney wary of Stoke City

George McCartney has warned his West Ham United teammates to be wary of Stoke City when the sides meet in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Hammers make the trip to the Britannia Stadium looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat at Everton last time out.

While admitting that West Ham are capable of getting a positive result this weekend, McCartney believes that Stoke are a dangerous team to play against.

"They have beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United at home and you know when they're beating so many big teams at home that it's no fluke," he told the club's official website.

"They are a good team at their place, but we're playing with confidence and, no matter if we're home or away, I think we will give anyone a game on the day and hopefully we can get a result and stay in 10th in the table."

West Ham travel to Stoke having won four of their last five matches in the top flight.
