Slaven Bilic has told his West Ham United troops to be mindful of the "special" Yohan Cabaye ahead of Saturday's London derby away to Crystal Palace.
The French midfielder, a club-record £12m signing from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, has scored three goals in eight Premier League outings so far.
Palace sit fourth in the Premier League table, one point ahead of the sixth-placed Hammers, and Bilic has warned his charges that a difficult 90 minutes lies ahead.
"Palace are a good team, they are good in everything - defending, contacts, counter attacks," the Croat told a press conference.
"They also have Cabaye who can do special things on the pitch. They are doing really, really good. It is a London derby, it is a great game and it will be an extremely difficult test."
Bilic's side have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City away from home this season.
