West Ham attacker Said Benrahma: We must be at 100% against Derby

West Ham attacker Said Benrahma is looking forward to facing FA Cup opponents Derby County.

On Monday night, The Hammers will face Derby for the second time in the historic competition. The first FA Cup meeting between the two historic clubs in 100 years is a challenge Benrahma will not take lightly.

“Ultimately with the cup games, there is the possibility of winning a title, so we need to be on it," the Algerian told whufc.com. “We need to give 100%, whether it is the cup or the league we have to continue to work hard, and I am sure the victory will come.

“When we play cup matches, we feel even more pressure because of what is at stake, but our recent performances in cup games have given us a lot of confidence too.

“When we have won games in the cup, it has helped us with our performances in the league too. I want us to continue that against Derby, of course!"
