West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has suggested that he maintains confidence in his side, despite the absence of in-form Dimitri Payet.

The French international, who has scored five times in 12 Premier League games this season, has been ruled out for three months with an ankle injury, and Bilic has called on the rest of his squad to "step up" in the club's fixtures during the winter months.

The 47-year-old told reporters: "We are not only Payet. We have a lot of quality players and those who play will have to step up and do more for us."

The Hammers sit in sixth place in the league table ahead of Sunday's London derby with Tottenham Hotspur.
