West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has told Liverpool to forget about a top four finish.

Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Yes, Liverpool are knocking on the door because Brendan Rodgers has found a way to shut the back door but - at the other end of the pitch - I'm not sure they will score enough goals to force their way into the top four.

"Manchester United may not be playing the sort of football their fans have been used to but they do score goals, so my top four would include them as well."
