This cup has been the highlight of our season so far. 5 games, 5 wins, 12 goals scored, none conceded. We're 7 points clear at the top, 9 within the qualification spots and have 3 of our remaining 5 games at home. We would have to have a meltdown of catastrophic proportions to not qualify from here!

In fact, if we beat West Ham and the other 2 games end in draws we would need 1 point from our final 4 games to guarantee qualification and with our GD it'd be pretty much tied up. So the win for us is very important here as we want to get it done early and have the option of resting players later on if needs be. So it's a strong side again looking to get the job done.
