West Ham boss Moyes calm about Euro chances ahead of Burnley clash

West Ham boss David Moyes insists their clash with Burnley isn't decisive to their European hopes.

Moyes doesn't think his side's game against Burnley is a "decisive moment" because "there are games coming afterwards."

West Ham are fifth in the Premier League, three points behind fourth place Chelsea and Moyes remains focused on achieving European football with his team - whichever form that may be in.

"We've only jumped into the top four on three occasions this season, so we've been chasing it most of the time and we're doing everything we can to hang on in there.

"We want to take it to the last game of the season, we want to get the big one, but if we don't we'll settle for the one that comes next."

Moyes says he is missing Aaron Cresswell, Declan Rice, Arthur Masuaku but wouldn't rule Michail Antonio "in or out" for his side's match against Burnley on Monday.

"Let's hope Michail has a chance."

He says part of his job is to "find a way to win when you're without some of your players."

Fabian Balbuena was shown a bizarre straight red card in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea which has now been rescinded - but Moyes says it "did affect the game, and lost us a chance to try and do something in the last ten or 15 minutes".
