Sam Allardyce is glad that the West Ham United fans and players can relax with the club safe from the drop.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that the club's Premier League position of 10th means that the fans and the players can relax for the rest of the season.

Allardyce admitted that 10th was the highest he could have hoped for at the start of the season and has targeted more wins now that the pressure is off the players.

"I said from the start that our goal was to finish around mid-table, 10th would be the highest," Sky Sports News quotes Allardyce as saying. "We're there with four games to go, it shows the consistency that we've had.

"Bad runs happen to everybody, but if it's only one period it's not too bad, we only did that around December and January. We're in a very comfortable position and we can relax without that detracting from our performance.

"We've got two very difficult away games and two home games which on paper don't look as difficult, but which are. We'll look forward on Manchester City and try our best to get a result out of a very difficult game."

West Ham are currently on a five-match unbeaten run.
