Slaven Bilic has urged West Ham to replicate their performance against Manchester United when they face Stoke, live on Sky Sports 3, as they attempt to nail down a place in the Europa League.
The Hammers, who defeated United 3-2 in their final match at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday, will secure a place in next season's Europa League if they win at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 3.
"It is the last game of the season and it's the same for a few clubs in a few countries. It's in our hands for a European spot," Bilic said.
"Stoke will want to finish on a high, but all we have to do is try to replicate the performance from Tuesday night and win the game. That will give us minimum sixth and if Manchester United slip up, we can move to fifth.
"Stoke have been on a bad run, but I've watched their games and it's like they've played teams that have been on fire. We are expecting a difficult game and we will have to be on top of our game to do the job.
"It would be nice to have Europa League football because we have had a good season and it would be good to get something out of it."
With Manchester City certain to finish no lower than fifth due to their goal difference, the Europa League berth they earned by winning the Capital One Cup will go to the sixth-placed team.
If Crystal Palace win the FA Cup, they will enter the Europa League at the group stage. However, if Manchester United win, that place will be given to the seventh-placed team.
