West Ham United are one of the Premier League’s most in-form teams.
Paul Merson spoke exclusively to Sky Sports about West Ham’s fine recent run of form, and offered high words of praise for Manuel Pellegrini’s men, sharing what he likes about watching them.
The Hammers have won their last four Premier League games, and they now sit in ninth position in the table, just two points adrift of sixth placed Manchester United.
Things haven’t all been such plain sailing, however.
West Ham lost their first four games of the season, and many predicted that they would be involved in a relegation scrap throughout the course of the campaign.
Merson spoke to Sky Sports, and suggested that the Irons have got real swagger, and highlighted how he really likes the fact that they have got goals in them:
“West Ham have turned the corner, and are playing with a lot of confidence. They’ve got some good players, have a nice run of games and are punishing teams. They look like they’ve got a bit of a swagger. They’ve got goals in them, that’s what I like, and they’re becoming hard to break down too.”
West Ham welcome Watford to the London Stadium on Saturday, and will be in confident mood of making it five consecutive Premier League wins.
The Hammers really do look like a seriously good outfit all of a sudden, and if they continue to play in the manner which they have been recently, there is no reason why they cannot push for a top six finish.
