**West Ham United have found themselves in a dismal position and despite being sat in the relegation zone, there’s still a handful of positives for fans to take.**
One of the positives that Hammers fans need to admire is the recent points tally that Nuno and Paco have come together to haul for us. Up until Matchweek 21, the Hammers had only achieved 14 points, but looking towards Matchweek 27, they are now on 25 points, bringing the gap down from 7 to 2.
An immense run of points is exactly what West Ham needed to provide the opportunity to stay up, and thankfully it has been acheived, the run of points has now brought the points tally to Nottingham Forest down to just two points, with Spurs at four points and Leeds at six, whom the Hammers will play on the final day of the season. Though, despite the fact that Nuno’s side are currently on red-hot form, one that recently places them in the top five of the Premier League, there are some unfortunate negatives looming in the distance.
One of the negatives is that, according to Opta, West Ham do have the hardest remaining set of fixtures in the Premier League, which makes sense given that five out of our remaining eleven games include the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa – whilst these games aren’t a given to lose, they’re unlikely to conclude In a monumental amount of points and our attention is best focused on the set of fixtures coming up where West Ham will play Wolves, Crystal Palace, Everton and Brentford, they’re certainly not easy fixtures, but they’re a much better set to play than over half of the top six!
Some of the situations West Ham find themselves in the upcoming week will be tough to take. There will be moments where the Hammers catch up with sides and likely drop points too and despite all the odds seemingly stacked against West Ham, the one good aspect that the Hammers have towards them is that Nuno’s mighty Irons have a lot of confidence and are seemingly playing well and catching up, whereas other sides are still attempting to find their groove.
