European run-ins compared – It’s going to the wire!

West Ham’s bid to qualify for Europe is going to go to the wire!

The Hammers beat Everton 2-1 on Sunday and are now sixth in the Premier League table after the victory.

David Moyes’ side remain in contention to qualify for the Champions League, although it may be that the club are forced to settle for Europa League qualification once again.
