West Ham play their first game in their new Olympic Stadium home tonight against Slovenian side NK Domzale - and manager Slaven Bilic fears their new surroundings could affect the squad.
The Hammers are 2-1 down from the first leg of their Europa Legaue third-round qualifying tie with Domzale.
They moved from their Upton Park home over the summer into the newly renovated stadium in the Olympic Park, Stratford.
In transfer news, Diafra Sakho's proposed £15million move to West Brom has been called off.
The striker was expected to join the Baggies today but the Hawthorns club pulled out of the deal because Sakho has a back problem.
The BBC report that Sakho did not fail a medical but that he is not fit enough to start the season.
And the collapsed deal means Stoke and Crystal Palace’s hopes of securing a deal for Albion striker Saido Berhaino hang in the balance.

Andre Ayew will reportedly undergo a medical at West Ham ahead of a £20m transfer from Swansea.
The Hammers are understood to be interested in signing Ayew, who scored 12 goals for the Swans last season.
West Ham are said to have matched Swansea’s asking price for the 26-year-old.
