West Ham United's Slaven Bilic: 'We are motivated to finish season strongly'

By , Staff Reporter
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic says that his team are "motivated" to finish high in the Premier League table.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has insisted that his team are "motivated" to finish as high as possible in the Premier League table.

The Hammers were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United in their quarter-final replay in midweek.

In the league, the East London outfit have a chance of finishing in a European spot as they are currently sixth in the standings, one point behind Manchester United, who occupy the Europa League spot.

"It was a huge disappointment [to go out of the FA Cup] because we wanted to go to Wembley and then go on and win the cup," Bilic told reporters.

"But we want to finish high and we are motivated to do that in our final six games, starting at Leicester City on Sunday. We need points to finish high in the table. Do we need to win on Sunday? Well we know we need points if we are to finish high."

West Ham have drawn their last three league fixtures.
