The Clarets lost 5-1 in Monday's fifth-round tie at Upton Park, but Howe took the positives from the display and is confident his men can reignite their promotion challenge this weekend.
North End are rock-bottom of the Championship and Howe admits his side must move on quickly from the Hammers defeat. He said: "We know we've got a talented squad and we know the areas where we think we're very strong.
"We know there are areas we can improve. All in all we've had a good little run in the FA Cup and now our focus has to turn to the league."
