Could West Ham United get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season?
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has told The Mirror that West Ham United will not get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
West Ham are 12th in the Premier League table at the moment with 22 points from 19 matches.
The Hammers were struggling in the opening weeks of the season, but the London outfit are now are eight points above the relegation zone.
Former West Ham striker Sheringham believes that Slaven Bilic’s side will retain their Premier League status for the 2017-18 campaign.
“It does take time to adjust when you move to a new stadium and it is vital they do they quickly because they HAVE to stay up,” Sheringham told The Mirror.
“But the results have picked up recently and I am sure they will be alright, stay in the Premier and continue to build.”
West Ham have a good squad and a good manager, and the London club should be able to stave off relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.
The Hammers should be aiming for a finish in the top 10 of the Premier League this campaign.
It is going to be hard for the London outfit to end up in the top six, but finishing seventh or eighth should be deemed a success.
West Ham will return to action on Monday evening when they take on Manchester United at the London Stadium in the Premier League.
