West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek says they'll learn about themselves against Leeds United.

Soucek says a top four finish is now a realistic target.

“We're still in a great position, which is really good, so we're still enjoying our time but we need to be prepared for the next game because this game will again show us how good we are," he told whufc.com.

“I could compare this game to the game against Tottenham, when we were in this position and we beat Tottenham, so if we do a similar performance and get a win against Leeds, we will be in a great moment and a great position ahead of our games in the future.

“I spoke with the guys, with my teammates, and we want to be in this position at the start of the international break and after the international break we want to carry on. If we stay in this position going into the international break we will be happy because we will then have nine games until the end and we will have a good schedule ourselves.

“I hope we do very well in these three difficult matches [against Leeds, Manchester United and Arsenal] and then we will go into the international break with belief and it will set us up for the last step."
