West Ham are pressing ahead with their warm weather training camp in Dubai.
Three victories in their last four matches have lifted Slaven Bilic's side well away from the relegation places but the Croatian is taking no chances and plans on putting the players through their paces during a gruelling five-day trip to the UAE.
After their Premier League fixture against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday they have a two-week break from action after being knocked out of the FA Cup and are intent on taking full advantage.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic will put his players through a gruelling five-day training camp
The Hammers will hope to avenge this season's defeat to West Brom before a trip to the UAE
Next Wednesday, the players will take part in an open training session in front of 8,500 junior members and season ticket holders at the London Stadium as part of a family fun day and from there will travel straight to Heathrow Airport to jet off to the Middle East late in the afternoon.
According to West Ham sources the camp will involve 'hard sessions' in the heat as Bilic prepares his players for the final run-in.Â
On their return, they face in-form Watford and then host league leaders Chelsea.
Sam Allardyce had hoped to take his Crystal Palace squad away for warm weather training
Steve Parish spoke to the players in the dressing room in a frank and honest discussion
The Hammers' decision to pursue warmer climate comes after Crystal Palace pulled the plug on plans to do the same themselves following Saturday's 4-0 loss at home to rock bottom Sunderland.
Eagles boss Sam Allardyce was due to take advantage of Palace's upcoming fortnight break by taking his squad to the Middle East, but club chairman Steve Parish and the majority shareholders have vetoed the trip.
Parish is concerned about how flying to the other side of the world would be viewed by their supporters, who were left deeply disgruntled by another humiliating home defeat.Â
