Super Computer predicts West Ham final league position after Liverpool loss
West Ham have been given only a five per cent chance of sealing qualification for next season’s Champions League.
The Hammers’ quest to secure top four took another hit after they suffered a 1-0 loss against Liverpool on Saturday evening.
Despite having a number of chances to score, West Ham failed to find the back of the net and came back from Anfield empty-handed.
FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer has predicted the Hammers to end the season in seventh – one worse than last year’s sixth-place finish.
They will thus miss out on the Europa League and secure qualification for the Europa Conference League.
Tough ask
It’s going to be difficult for the Hammers to finish in the top four.
They started the season strongly and had a realistic chance after a few months, but they had rotten luck with injuries.
To offset that, David Moyes was not backed by the club in the January transfer window either.
Michail Antonio has also not done enough to prove why he should be starting week in and week out.
However, due to the lack of strike options, Moyes is compelled to rely on the Jamaican and it’s not an ideal situation to be in for him.
Hopefully, they go on a run of wins with sides around them dropping points, but that is too much to ask for.
In other West Ham news, the club want to sign a ‘Brilliant’ Chelsea player who will tick a major box for David Moyes.
