West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek says Michail Antonio must backup his words with action.

Before today's clash with Liverpool, Antonio claimed the Irons would finish the season above the Reds.

In response, Soucek said of his West Ham teammate: "Micky does lots of interviews that are funny and we just laugh about it!

"It's great that he has this show but in terms of what he is saying, it's something we need to follow through.

"If it ends up being true I will be very happy but he needs to score many goals to get us ahead of Liverpool."
