West Ham captain Mark Noble insists they should be targeting a top four this season.

Noble feels a win against United can show they are serious about playing in Europe next season.

He said: “It's easy to understand why we're relishing the visit of Manchester United on Sunday. We've only lost once in our past nine League matches and been beaten only twice at home in 2019.

“There's a feeling that the chance exists for a change and at least one different club to break into the top six this season. I would even go one step further. I believe there is an opportunity for someone different to actually make it into the top four!

“After that, you look at Arsenal, who could easily have lost at Watford last weekend; Chelsea, where Frank Lampard has done incredibly well to play young English players but are banned from signing anyone and have lost Eden Hazard; plus United, who are, let's say, in transition. Even Wolves, who did so well last season, are finding it tough with their Europa League commitments."
