West Ham United forward Michail Antonio has boldly claimed that his team will have an outstanding season.

The Hammers, who have started this season very strongly, are vastly different to the team that was in relegation danger last term.

Antonio has now claimed that his Conference League champions will finish above Liverpool in the Premier League table.

“I am backing myself over Liverpool," Antonio said on the Footballer's Football Podcast.

“You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season. I'm putting it out there.

“I watched the game [Wolves vs Liverpool] because it was before our game and Wolves could have run away with it! They had quite a few opportunities. We've got them this weekend and it's a six-pointer. We've got them!"
