West Ham boss Bilic eyeing great EFL Cup tie with Chelsea

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is looking forward to a great EFL Cup fourth round tie against Chelsea.

The London clubs were drawn to play against each other at the London Stadium in October after winning their way through the league cup's third round.

The Hammers defeated Accrington Stanley 1-0 on Wednesday night while Antonio Conte's Blues defeated Leicester City 4-2 after extra-time on Tuesday.

"Chelsea at home is a great game," Bilic said.

"Let's say that it's a very good thing for us is that we're playing at home and that it's a one-off tie.

"I'm expecting us to make improvements in the meantime. We have to earn a couple of good results and then the confidence will come back to us."
