The challenge for each one of them is not to be left too far behind before the January transfer window begins. Fulham and Southampton are both under new management and both will be looking to make a positive impact in the upcoming weeks.
#4 West Ham have a good chance to push for top 7
Pellegrini's West Ham took off to a slow start going into the season but now sit comfortably just outside the top 10. Their next five games are against Fulham, Watford, Southampton, Burnley and Brighton. On paper all of these games are winnable, and if West Ham want to push for the European places this season, they should aim to get the maximum points from these fixtures.
Hernandez, Anderson and Snodgrass are all in good form; with Perez and young Diangana impressing in their substitute roles. West Ham might not get a better chance to make a push for the European Place, this season.
