West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini is coy over their season target.
Skipper Mark Noble says they should be going for the top six.
Pellegrini said, "I never say what our team target is for the season. I think though, that if pundits have those feelings, maybe it is because the team is showing in games, we are able to do that.
"Our duty as a team is not to hear what happens, it is to play every game and demonstrate we are able to do it.
"We know we have a very strong team to play and we have a good test against Manchester United and we will try to beat them. That would be the only way to arrive in the top six position, by demonstrating in every game we can do exactly that."
