West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has made the bold claim that the Hammers are now the ‘champions of London.’
The east London club have had a great season under the guidance of Slaven Bilic, sitting sixth in the Premier League table with an outside chance of finishing in the top four.

If results go the Hammers' way, it could open up a route to the Champions League ahead of the club's move to the Olympic Stadium this summer.
West Ham have won four of their eight London derbies against capital clubs Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace this term, beating each side once and only losing to Spurs.
"We are champions of London," Sullivan said to Sky Sports. "If you do a league of all the five London teams when they’ve played each other, we are the champions of London.
"Fourteen points (sic - West Ham have 15) is better than anyone else. We call ourselves champions of London now."
The Hammers have three games left to play this season - against Swansea, Stoke and Man United - and every point will be crucial in the race for the top four.
