West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce hopes his side can handle the pressure of playing on the big stage at Wembley.

The Hammers face Blackpool on Saturday with a place in the Premier League at stake in the Championship play-off final.

Allardyce told the club website: "It's a huge prize, but all of our season and all of what we've tried to do rides on the 90 minutes.

"It can't get any bigger and you hope it doesn't affect the players' ability to play their best."
