DANNY MURPHY: West Ham could be the outsider to break the top four... but their owners NEED to invest in January if they stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League

It was a terrific game of football at London Stadium. West Ham were too passive in the first half by showing too much respect for Chelsea, but the second half was a different story. For all the visitors’ possession, they could not hurt David Moyes’s team.

The big question is whether the West Ham board will now back their manager in January in an effort to make make the club’s Champions League dream a reality. It has been a while since an outsider has finished in the Premier League top four, but there is no doubt the Hammers are good enough to achieve that this season — if they get a couple of reinforcements.
