Everton boss leads the plaudits for West Ham

West Ham are one of eight teams challenging for a place in Europe, and Everton boss Roberto Martinez is impressed with how their attacking play is paying off this season. The teams meet on Saturday at Goodison Park with the Hammers in fourth with 18 points, four ahead of the Toffees.

"West Ham have been the most consistent team in the Premier League and it wasn't by accident," said Martinez.

"The way they play is very brave - they've a lot of attackers. It'll be one of our the biggest challenges."

He added: "It is still early days but we still have four teams challenging for the title and eight teams looking for Europe.

"West Ham are one of the big challengers for those places without a doubt."
