Late season break has come at good time for West Ham says Bilic

West Ham United will now have a few days off following Wednesday night's 3-1 victory over Watford at Upton Park.

The Hammers made it 15 unbeaten at the East London venue by dominating the Hornets with goals supplied by Andy Carroll and Mark Noble (two penalties).

West Ham's next league fixture does not come around until April 30 when they travel to West Bromwich Albion and manager Slaven Bilic feels it is a nice time for his squad to have a little break before returning to launch an assault on a possible top-four finish.

"It's good to have this break even if we didn't want it. We're going to use it. The players have a couple of days off to rest," said the Croatian.

"Then we will be back to Chadwell to prepare very well for the last 4 games. There's everything to play for and we fight to the end."

West Ham currently occupy six position on the Premier League table, four points off Arsenal who sit in fourth but have a game in hand.
