West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • Nuno confirmed "all the boys are OK" and that is a reflection of his players' "commitment to prepare themselves really well" and to "take care of themselves after the matches, recovery-wise".
  • On the mood at the club after last week's important victory over Wolves: “We’re working hard. The atmosphere is good, focused and getting ready for Monday. I don’t think there is a risk [of complacency]. It’s positive after a good performance and helps in terms of preparation. We will make sure we are focused on what we have to do. “
  • On moving outside of the relegation zone: "It's much better when you see but nothing has changed really. We still have six games to go – a lot of work to do."
  • The Hammers boss dismissed that playing last of the relegation-threatened teams this week makes a big difference: "We have to focus on ourselves. We cannot control what happens at the other stadiums."
  • Nuno said they have a big challenge ahead in "sustaining their levels of performance which is very hard".
  • He was asked about Konstantinos Mavropanos being linked with a summer move but maintained the defender is "totally focused and committed".
  • On Monday's opposition, the West Ham boss said Crystal Palace's threats come from "all over the place" and added: "They are a very good team. The shape and idea is really established and that brought a lot of success last season. They continue to perform well and have individual players with a lot of talent."
