West Ham remains in fourth place in the Premier League on 45 points but that is unlikely to last for very long.
The Hammers have amassed 45 points from 25 games this season.
Most clubs just beneath the Hammers will play three games each before we play Leeds United on Monday 8th March.
Chelsea just behind the Hammers in fifth place and two points in the table play Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton.
Sixth place Liverpool are five points behind us play Sheffield United, Chelsea and Fulham
Seventh place Everton also five points behind us play Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea
Eighth placed Aston Villa play Sheffield United, Wolves
Ninth placed Spurs nine points behind the Hammers play Burnley, Fulham and Crystal Palace.
We now face a nervous wait for what these clubs can do around us with a worst-case scenario of dropping to ninth place behind Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, Villa and Spurs.
As a life long singer of ‘bubbles’ just like you Sean đź‘Ť we are happy nervous about dropping out of the top 6 due to fixtures! We have seen enough fade and die over the decades to be untroubled to be looking for the Irons at the top end of the table!!
Think it’s good that the players have a long rest now before the Leeds game, get them fully recovered and refreshed before another physical effort against arguably the hardest pressing team in the league. Position is nice at the minute although suspect Chelsea will displace us later today and whatever will be, will be COYI!!!
I know we could slip down the table but I think we have enough to get straight back up there. We played well yesterday and gave city a game ! If the lads keep working hard and fighting like they are , which is fantastic by the way we will be near the top come the end of the season . I also don’t think we will go below 6th the way our season is going I can see results going our way . Play hard as a team like us and you get your luck along the way . Unlucky yesterday , the lads know they will bounce straight back & that’s what they will do . I might sound optimistic Sean but it feels so different this season so the players & Dm have given me optimism . Keep it up lads. COYI ⚒
