West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists they'll play a strong team for their FA Cup replay against Everton.

He wrote in the London Evening Standard: "One thing is for sure, though. Despite the challenge of having three games in eight days, we're going to give this replay our best shot.

"What would be the point of going to Everton, working so hard and coming so close to a victory if we just gave it up now? What a waste of time and energy that would be.

"I know it comes just after a tough game at Swansea tomorrow, but we will be putting out the strongest team possible for the replay which, as in the first game, is bound to be tight."
