Spurs Cup clash a massive chance - Declan Rice

West Ham captain Declan Rice says the players are desperate to beat Tottenham in tonight's Carabao Cup quarterfinal.

Rice admits they want to bring silverware back to the club.

“It's obviously a big game for everyone, it's Spurs away, it's a chance to get into a semi-final, so it's massive for us and something we've been trying to build towards and get to for the last couple of years, but we haven't quite done it," the No41 told whufc.com.

“Wednesday is a massive chance for us to do it and if I get the chance to play, I'll be ready and buzzing to be involved.

“We don't want to concede early like we did then (in October 2020, when West Ham went three goals down inside 16 minutes before mounting an historic late comeback capped by Manuel Lanzini's added-time equaliser), as then it's a lot harder to come back. That was a freak game, so hopefully this time we can get in front and maintain our lead."
