West Ham coach David Moyes has not given up hope that his side finish in the top four in the Premier League and qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The Hammers are in with a fighting chance of claiming a top four finish after recording a 2-1 victory over Burnley at Turf Moore on Monday night.
The London club are currently fifth in the table and three points behind Chelsea, who occupy the last Champions League qualifying spot.
Moyes believes his side will have to win each of their remaining games if they are to earn a place in Europe’s premier club competition and would be disappointed if they cannot at least make the Europa League.
“I’m hoping that with four games to go people still talk about us being in the Champions League,” Moyes said to BBC Sport.”We want to keep going, we want to go right to the last day and see if we can sneak in. It will probably take us winning all of our games.
“I think if we made European football this year it would be a brilliant achievement. I might admit I think I’d be disappointed now if we didn’t get there, but I don’t think it would change how we feel about the season and how we’re doing.”
Moyes’ side are in action again on Sunday when they host Everton in the Premier League.
Six days later they will visit Brighton before a trip to West Brom on May 19.The Hammers will then finish their top-flight campaign with a home game against Southampton.
