Michail Antonio is confident West Ham can turn their season around after a poor star

West Ham midfielder Michael Antonio is refusing to panic, despite the club's poor start to the season.

Slaven Bilic's side have lost their opening three matches of the Premier League campaign and will be desperate to put some points on the board at home to Huddersfield on Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports.

The Hammers have not been helped by having to play their opening matches of the season away from home, with work needing to be done to make the London Stadium football-ready after the World Athletics Championships were staged there over the summer.

England international Antonio insists the players still believe in themselves, despite the fact they are propping up the table going into the Huddersfield game.

"It's just one of those things where we've had a bad start and made a couple of mistakes," Antonio told Sky Sports News.

"We need to pick ourselves up and just keep moving forward.

"It's important to win because we have got to get some points [to climb the table], especially with Burnley and Newcastle winning again.

"We know we have the squad to bring us up the table and we will bring ourselves up the table."
