West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is hopeful about his side's chances in the EFL Cup.

The domestic cup represents the best chance for the Hammers of lifting a silverware this season, however, after defeating Chelsea they now face a tricky trip to Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the competition.

After the win over Chelsea, Bilic said: "You never know in a cup. We approached this competition with great ambition, that was obvious. If we play like this, we are capable of progressing.

"This is not only important for the competition but also for the Premier League. It gives you more confidence. We will be a little bit tired on the training ground, but then it's going to be buzzing and from that we will be less tired.

"Now we have most our players back fit, we can do it, as a unit and a team. Now we have three wins on the spin. It's always going to be ups and downs but we need to focus like we have done. I'm very optimistic of course."
