West Ham boss Moyes hints being careful with XI against Leicester

West Ham boss David Moyes has hinted he'll select his XI against Leicester City with an eye on the Europa Conference League final.

The Foxes need a win on Sunday to stand any chance of beating the drop.

Moyes said: "I take every game one at a time, that's all we ever do.

"We see a chance to get another league place higher up and we're all well aware of the value of that in the Premier League.

"I think if you'd given me this position a few weeks ago I'd have snapped your hand off, because we don't go into the last day with any real problems.

"More importantly we go into it as well knowing we've got a cup final in a week or so's time.

"We want everybody fresh, but we want them all able and prepared [for the final].

"We don't want the gap in time to be too long between the games, so all those things come into our thinking.

"Look, we want to keep playing as well as we have done and we've improved greatly in the last month or so.

"We had a really good victory last weekend, we won in Alkmaar as well and we want to keep that run going if we can.

"We have to go and do our job, and our job is to go and get another win.

"We have to see if we can finish a bit higher up the league, if we could it would be important for us. And we're preparing for a final and we need to get everybody in the right condition for that."
