West Ham boss Moyes: We must be ready for Fulham

West Ham boss David Moyes is confident his players will be up for Sunday's clash with Fulham.

The Hammers go into the game on the back of Thursday's Europa League defeat at Bayer Leverkusen.

Moyes said: "Disappointment is something that comes around in football, but you have the opportunity to put it right in the next game. We had a brilliant win away at Wolves last weekend and now we're back at home, where we've done well for the majority of the season, so I hope we can get another good result at home.

"Every time you win, it builds a little bit of momentum. I thought we did a lot of good things at Leverkusen partly because of what we did at Wolves.

"We'll always go into a game with hope and things can alter in football very quickly, so hopefully it can change against Leverkusen next week.

"It's difficult mentally to get back and get the players ready. Physically you need time to recover, debrief and get things out of the way.

"I'm not sure you can ever get used to it, but we've been doing it for three years and we're getting a bit more used to how we need to feel on the day of the game.

"We have a day or two to recover and be ready for the next game, so we'll do our best to be ready for Fulham on Sunday."
