Former Hammer, John Hartson has told the BBC Sport website that West Ham will finish in the top four in the Premier League table this season.
“West Ham are flying, and they do not look in danger of running out of steam despite the fact their season started weeks before everyone else’s did – on 2 July in the Europa League first qualifying round against Andorran side Lusitanos, their home form is especially impressive – they lost their first two league games at Upton Park in August, but have not lost any of their next 12 since then. Five of their final eight league games are at home and I think that will help them finish fourth. They are still in the FA Cup too.”
“My old team seem to be embracing the fact this is their final season at a stadium that has been their home since 1904, and they want to finish really strongly before they move to the Olympic Stadium. I think they can do it, and get in the Champions League places.”
