West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says his players are ready for tonight's Europa League clash with NK Domzale.

The Hammers play their first competitive match in the Europa League third qualifying round first-leg tonight, more than two weeks ahead of their Premier League curtain raiser away to Chelsea.

Bilic said: “We have done everything that we wanted to do. But still we have to compromise some things because the competitive games don't start on August 15, they start on Thursday.

“It's not ideal but I'm really pleased with the way we've trained. We are still expecting a few players to come back, those who have been playing in the European Championships.

“If we continue to work hard like this, with dedication and humility, we can expect good things."
