REUTERS: West Ham United's freefall in the Premier League standings in the past few weeks is proof that teams cannot afford to be inconsistent and take their foot off the gas in a highly-competitive league, manager Manuel Pellegrini said on Thursday.

"It's tough for every game. Maybe Crystal Palace here at home... we would have been sixth or seventh in the table, but maybe after one game you can be four or five positions back," Pellegrini told reporters. "You have 20 teams who all have money to get good players. That's why it's so important to play 100per cent concentrated, because if not, it's very difficult to win the game."West Ham host promoted Sheffield United, who beat Arsenal to move up to ninth, on Saturday and Pellegrini praised his counterpart Chris Wilder, whose side have been unbeaten in four away games this season.

"I think that Sheffield United reflect his mentality. It's clear in the way they play, it's absolutely English football - strong players who work a lot over 90 minutes. They work to win the first and the second ball."
