Slaven Bilic's West Ham defeated Blackburn Rovers 5-1 on Sunday to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament and will to travel to Manchester United in March as they look towards a possible Wembley return.

"I was involved last time when we got to Wembley," he said.

"It's still one of the, if not the, biggest highlights of my career so far.

"To go there with such a good team and be on the right side of the result this time would be amazing."
