West Ham United full-back Aaron Cresswell has insisted that he and his teammates are prepared for a "tough game" against Leicester City this weekend.

Sam Allardyce's side face a team who are fighting for Premier League survival, but Cresswell has claimed that he is solely focused on pushing the Hammers up the table.

The London club, who occupied a Champions League spot in the early stages of the season, are currently ninth in the table.

"It'll definitely be a tough game, especially away from home," Cresswell told the club's official website. "They're fighting against relegation and we want to finish as high as we can with eight games remaining. We're going to go there full of confidence and try to get the three points."

Leicester are rooted to the bottom of the table, seven points adrift of safety.
