West Ham remains fifth in the Premier League table as they go into a vital game against Everton at the London Stadium this afternoon.
Newcastle United and Leeds United did the Hammers big favors beating Leicester City and Spurs respectively.
Unfortunately, Manchester City didn’t read the script and lost to Chelsea 2-1 in added time.
Liverpool also beat Southampton 2-0 to come within just one point of West Ham and have yet to play Manchester United after the game was postponed..
The Hammers are on 58 points can get to 61 points with a win over Everton this afternoon and that would put them just two points away from fourth place Leicester.
With Chelsea flying high, Leciester have become the new target to steal their Champions League fourth spot.
The Foxes face Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs with one eye on their FA Cup against Chelsea.
The Hammers play Brighton, West Brom and Southampton.
Pity it was basically man city reserves. Arrogance ? Still I think last night basically confirmed city will win champions league. Wont be so casual again
The bad day at Newcastle could end up costing big time.
As could Leicester’s at home to them
Liverpool can’t catch us if we win all four, they’re a point behind same games??
Guys we’re just not ready yet for Champions League football with the current squad. Without the depth in players we’re a hostage to fortune when it comes to injuries as the last few weeks have painfully demonstrated. Surely it’s far better to ease our way in through the Europa League while strengthening the squad at the same time and having won that one next season, we get auto entry to the Champions League the season after, right?….COYI!!
