West Ham look set to retain their position in the Premier League for next season, although there is still work to do as the Hammers hold a three-point advantage over third-bottom Southampton with three games to play.
David Moyes side finish the campaign with a varied set of challenges, travelling to face Leicester City this weekend before finishing the season with two clashes against Manchester United and Everton at the London Stadium.
The Hammers will be looking to pick up points from those games, particularly with the two home fixtures, and Moyes has revealed his target for the remainder of the season. Speaking to the club’s official website, he said:
“I’m not as anxious as I was when I first came in because we were in the bottom three then. The big job is to stay out of the bottom three and we’ve got three games to go.”
“In the main, our form at London Stadium has been pretty good and up until Sunday’s game, we’d won three, drawn three and lost one, so I’m hoping we can turn those last two home games into points. We’ll also go to Leicester next week, so if we can turn that or one of the two home games into a win, then I think we’ll be OK.”
“We had a really difficult period when I came in when we had all the big teams and we’re in that period now in the second round of games, facing Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City. We’ve got Manchester United and Everton still to come here at home and I hope that somewhere along the line, seeing as we’re in relatively good form at London Stadium, that we’ll get the win we need.”
