Carlton Cole firmly believes West Ham can make it four successive wins when they tackle Stoke in Sunday's FA Cup clash and has backed under-fire boss Avram Grant.
The Hammers are just one win away from a semi-final spot with the Potters standing in their way of potential glory at the Britannia Stadium.
The in-form striker has helped Grant's men clock up three successive wins with four goals in four games and believes as long as United keep a clean sheet, they can power into the next round of the competition.
"Even at the start of the season we went up there and outplayed them," he said.
"We were unlucky not to win. We got a draw. But now we know that if we keep a clean sheet, we'll always score goals.
"We know what to expect because Stoke are a tough side - a really tough team to play against at any level.

"Even at the start of the season we went up there and outplayed them," he said. Hmmm, would that be the game where we hit the woodwork three times? |

I'm surprised Avram Grant has allowed him to say that.
Surely that goes against all that managers believe , to big yourself up against an opposition , it might have the opposite effect?
Or is that just bullshit from those defending Pulis when he bigs up the other team?
