“Now, the mood is great. The mood was great last season, but everybody is very much looking forward to it,” Bilic told Premier League World.
“It’s not that somebody has given us a wildcard to join them - no, we deserve it. They earned it, through a very difficult season.
“You have to invest a lot of effort and sacrifice a lot to get the chance - that’s why it’s called the Premier League."
