Anderson’s 20-20 vision

- By Kieran Gill

MANUEL PELLEGRINI has challenged Felipe Anderson to target the 20-goal mark in his debut season in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old Brazilian scored both goals in West Ham’s 2-1 win over Southampto­n on Thursday and will be looking to add to his eight-goal tally for the season at struggling Burnley today.

‘I always say that Felipe must know better the Premier League,’ West Ham boss Pellegrini said. ‘That is why he is improving with every game he is playing. I always trust in him.

‘I am absolutely sure that in the second half of the season Felipe will be much better than the first.’

Marko Arnautovic is fighting to be fit to face Burnley but Javier Hernandez will remain sidelined.
