Nikola Vlasic: "It makes everything easier (if we win the group) because of the (format of the) knockout stages of the competition. The manager has told us he wants us to win every game, so we're really ambitious in the team and we are aware of our abilities. We can challenge in every game and most of the games, we can win. Genk are a good team. We've watched them and they're a team that likes to play with the ball and keep possession of it. If we are on our level, I think we should win this game."

More from van den Brom on the task of trying to upset West Ham: "They have some good players in the team and we have to take care of them, we have to take care especially in defence. But what I always say is, I am a Dutch guy and I'm always thinking about when we have the ball and when we have possession and if we can use possession to create chances."

Genk boss John van den Brom: “We have an attacking team, I have a good team with good players who can do something special because they showed me that so many times before. Now we're playing in a nice stadium, with a good atmosphere and a great pitch and it will be the next challenge for us."

David Moyes: "Everyone's enjoying the league games and Europe and I have to say I'm really enjoying the European experience. I want the players to go far in it. It would be great if we could top the group, but trying to make sure that we go through would be the main aim at the moment."
