West Ham are gearing up for grudge match clash with Olympiacos at the London Stadium with the Hammers riled by the Greek side's raucous celebrations in Athens after shock 2-1 win in the Europa League

West Ham consider Thursday night's visit of Olympiacos a grudge match after witnessing the Greek hosts celebrate their group game victory two weeks ago as if they had won the Europa League.

David Moyes’ men could see and hear the celebrations down the corridor from their changing room at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens when they lost 2-1 and are now using that as motivation.

Players including James Ward-Prowse and Angelo Ogbonna have admitted they were riled by their opponents’ behaviour in the aftermath of that disappointing defeat and are promising to show a 'different West Ham' on Thursday.
