West Ham United forward Enner Valencia has admitted that his side faces a "tough" test against Hull City in the Premier League on Monday evening.

The Hammers head to the KC Stadium just one point above the relegation zone following one win from their opening three matches of the campaign.

While West Ham will be hoping to boost their fortunes with a victory, Valencia insists that he and his teammates will be up against difficult opponents in Hull.

"Monday's game is a very important game for the club. I'm ready to play if the manager wants me to. It will be a tough game but an important one for us to keep earning points and moving up the table," he told West Ham's official website.

Valencia has failed to score in his first three games for West Ham after joining the club from Mexican side Pachuca earlier this summer.
