West Ham boss David Moyes wants his players to take confidence from their defeat at Manchester City.
West Ham pushed City but eventually lost 2-1.
Moyes said, "I've been saying that I don't really feel like we're a team that is ready to be a top four club yet and there are better teams than us but, if we play like that between now and the end of the season, we'll give ourselves a great chance.
"We've played against the best team in the Premier League today and we've played really well and made the game tough for them.
"So, I hope the confidence we take from parts of the game we can take into games between now and the end of the season."
