Manchester United manager David Moyes has praised his team's defence ahead of tonight's League cup quarter final away to Stoke

The Red Devils have conceded 19 goals in the league this season but have managed two clean sheets in their last two games.

Moyes says it is an area in which they are getting better:

Darren Fletcher could play some part tonight, while Stoke's Robert Huth is out following knee surgery.

West Ham travel to Spurs in the night's other quarter final. 

The Hammers are expected to select a weakened team for the game while caretaker manager Tim Sherwood is in charge of Tottenham for the first time after Andre Villas Boas' sacking.

Spurs are without Michael Dawson and Paulinho who are suspended, while Sandro is injured. But attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen could make his return from an ankle injury.
