The struggling Hammers booked their semi-final meeting with Birmingham with an emphatic 4-0 home success over Manchester United.
Despite their impressive cup run the club's league form continues to disappoint and they find themselves bottom with 17 games played.
Grant is looking forward to their Blues clash, but he recognises that things need to start improving results-wise in league action.
The former Portsmouth tactician knows the implications if things do not improve soon, although he has been pleased with his players' efforts.
"We now have a Carling Cup semi-final to look forward to in January, but we will not think about this again until the New Year," he said.
"We have a job to do in the league and this is all that is occupying my attention.
"The cup is a fantastic distraction, but nothing will get in the way of the task in hand. We need points and I am positive we will get them.
"Everyone has been putting in lots of effort on the training pitches and by that I include the coaching and backroom staff.
"No one is taking our position lightly and we are all upbeat for the future.
"We have an extremely positive atmosphere because of all the way we have been playing overall.
"We know the results will come soon enough."
