West Ham manager David Moyes believes that his club have faced two Champions League quality teams since the Premier League re-started.
The struggling club has lost their last two games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham.
"I've played two teams who would not look out of place in the Champions League if they qualify for it in Wolves and Tottenham," Moyes said ahead of Wednesday's clash with Chelsea.
"You have seen how well Wolves have started the season [since the restart], we know what Tottenham have got, so I actually think we were always having a difficult return with the teams we had to play and it proved to be."
