Where we have a struggle with maths? (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

west ham

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where we have a struggle with maths?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'where we have a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'we' is within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
