West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists it would be great if his side could finish in the top half of the Premier League.

The Hammers are currently tenth in the table with four games to go starting at Manchester City this weekend.

Allardyce told the club website: "I think that I said from the very start that our goal was to try and finish around mid-table. I always felt that tenth was the highest possible position for this year. It would be great to try and achieve it. We're there with four games to go.

"We've not been lower than 14th all season, so it shows the consistency really, that the players have shown."
