West Ham United defender James Collins has insisted that the club is moving in the right direction after Saturday's win over Burnley pushed them into fourth in the Premier League table.

Sam Allardyce's men grabbed a place in the Champions League spots following a 3-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor at the weekend.

Summer arrivals Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia have impressed for the Hammers so far having netted six goals between them.

"The table is good viewing at the minute," Collins told the club's official website. "It's all down to the way we're playing, it's been a great season so far.

"We're defending well and with the way the two boys we've got up front are playing, it's looking good."

West Ham have won four, drawn one and lost three in the league so far this season.
