West Ham boss David Moyes believes his side are playing their best football at the right time of the season as they look to win the Europa Conference League.
The Hammers host Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their semi-final on Thursday.
"I do believe we're playing some of our best stuff just now," Moyes said.
Should they come out on top in the two-legged tie then West Ham will reach their first European final in 47 years.
"I remember Sir Alex Ferguson always used to talk about that, this was the time of year where you had to be at your best," added Moyes.
