Former England winger Joe Cole has insisted West Ham will be confident of progressing to the Conference League final.

The Hammers have a 2-1 lead from the first leg at home against AZ Alkmaar in their semi final.

Despite being 1-0 down, David Moyes' side rallied in the second period to get a vital home win.

Cole, speaking on BT Sport, stated: “David (Moyes) knows how to get the job done.

“You can wipe the floor with them at home and it's like a different game in the second leg. The first 15 minutes will be crucial. See who's fit, block up the midfield and Antonio a bit better in his hold-up play.

“It was important. It's the equivalent of a boxer working out how to beat the opponent. They will be confident going over there. They know if they play with the tempo they can't live with the pace for 90 minutes. They will be very confident."
