What they're saying

Slaven Bilic: "The spirit here at West Ham has always been good since I arrived. You can imagine how things have been, though, after last week — three Premier League victories, including one over Tottenham followed by that amazing comeback at Everton.

"Everyone around the club has been buoyant in the aftermath of that win — and we’re all looking forward to Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United.

West Ham vs Manchester United combined XI 13 show all West Ham vs Manchester United combined XI 1/13 West Ham vs Manchester United combined XI 2/13 GK: David de Gea The Spaniard is one of the best goalkeepers in world football and has not allowed ongoing speculation about his future to affect his performances. Adrian is a solid option between the sticks, but he does not operate at the same level as his countryman. 3/13 RB: Michail Antonio The former Tooting & Mitcham midfielder endured a slow start to the season but has come into his own in recent weeks. The Englishman's versatility is one of his primary strengths and he eases into the side ahead of the many makeshift options at Louis van Gaal's disposal. 4/13 CB: Chris Smalling Not as dominant as he was at the start of the campaign, Smalling remains the beating heart of the current United side. A hugely reliable defender, his aerial prowess has also made him something of a threat in the opposition half. 5/13 CB: Angelo Ogbonna Amid the praise for Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini, another of Slaven Bilic’s summer signings has slipped under the radar. Yet Ogbonna has been a superb addition at West Ham, worth every penny of the £10million Juventus received. 6/13 LB: Aaron Cresswell Last season’s Hammer of the Year continues to impress out wide, adapting well when shifted to a wing-back position. Slaven Bilic said he hasn’t seen a better left-back than Creswell - surely England honours will come soon? 7/13 CM: Mark Noble Another Hammer who must wonder what more he needs to do to be a part of Roy Hodgson’s plans. In his testimonial year Noble is showing no signs of slowing down, remaining a key part of the West Ham midfield after over 350 games. 8/13 CM: Cheikhou Kouyate The ideal foil to Noble, Kouyate’s energy and verticality brings balance across the West Ham side. The midfielder is capable of getting forward and contributing to attacks but has also stepped back into the heart of defence when needed. 9/13 RM: Manuel Lanzini The Argentine is living up to comparisons with his idol Pablo Aimar in his debut Premier League season. He may be injury-prone, but when he has made it on to the pitch he plays an exciting brand of football and carries a real goalscoring threat. 10/13 CAM: Dimitri Payet The London player of the year is certainly a contender for more honours at the end of the season, having proven himself in the Premier League with nine goals and eight assists in the league this year. Payet is joy to watch on the field with his dazzling array of tricks and the confidence to deploy them under pressure, and has become one of the world's best free-kick takers. 11/13 LM: Anthony Martial Still not the finished article and still not a regular in his likely long-term role as a striker. But in flashes Martial has offered plenty to suggest he will be everything United hoped he would be, never more so than in his electric start to life in English football.



His goal record may not be exemplary but he has been one of the few United players to make fans and neutrals alike smile. 12/13 ST: Andy Carroll The striker's fitness issues are well known but he is difficult to stop when firing on all cylinders. Arsenal struggled to curb Carroll's aerial threat at the weekend but so would the majority of defences in world football. 13/13 West Ham vs Man United Combined XI in full sharemytactics.com 1/13 West Ham vs Manchester United combined XI 2/13 GK: David de Gea The Spaniard is one of the best goalkeepers in world football and has not allowed ongoing speculation about his future to affect his performances.

"The attention on us is growing and that is inevitable. Up until now we have been under the radar a little and I like it that way."

Juan Mata: "We need to move on, we need to win on Sunday. It is a chance to play at Wembley again and a chance to win a title.

"The FA Cup is very special for all of us and it is against a very good team like West Ham. We need to recover as soon as possible and then focus just on the FA Cup. Then, after the weekend, we can look at the Europa League again."
