Manuel Pellegrini is eyeing a top six finish after West Ham United’s comfortable 2-0 win over Fulham.
The victory put the Hammers into just two points adrift of the top six. Following a disastrous start to the ongoing campaign, the hammers had struggled to put things into places.
Four losses on a trot indicated the gaffer needs to change things and since then the London giants have maintained a steady climb in the Premier League. Their win against the Cottagers was their fourth consecutive victory in the top flight.
The Hammers do have a pretty easy task in their hand given their December fixtures. Pellegrini’s side is not facing a top eight until their clash against Arsenal on 12th January.
Pellegrini said, “We are very happy, to win four in a row is not easy in the Premier League.
“We didn’t create too many chances but we scored the chances and we defended very well, especially in the second half.
“Is sixth place a target? It’s more of a target than when we started with not one point from the first 12, it’s very unexpected to be just two points from a European spot.
“We are talking about what is happening in the upper parts of the table and not at the bottom, I think that is the change of target for this season.
“The first five teams have a lot of points but we will try to continue winning and see where our spot is in the table.”
