West Ham United play host to Manchester United in the Premier League tomorrow afternoon.

Manchester United are a team under pressure right now, and West Ham could leap-frog them in the Premier League table with a win tomorrow.

Hammers boss David Moyes is desperately in need of a big win tomorrow, after his poor team selection for the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool cost us a place in the semi-finals.

There has been some bad news for West Ham, with Simon Hooper having been named as the referee for the game, but still, Man United are a wounded animal, and the match tomorrow should be a huge opportunity for us.

Erik ten Hag will already be without up to seven players through injury (Premier League’s official website), but things may have just got even worse for him.

Ten Hag speaks ahead of West Ham vs Manchester United Premier League

The Manchester United boss spoke to the media this afternoon, and provided a fresh injury update for the reporters on duty, as quoted by The Express:

“We have some doubts. We have some illnesses during the week, so we have to see who is available for tomorrow. Hopefully, they will recover, but we have to see.”

That’s obviously terrible news for Manchester United, but it means that the door is ever so slightly more ajar now for the Hammers.

Moyes has to ensure that his players go for the jugular early on and put the visitors under pressure.

Sitting back and playing with a deep backline will be totally unacceptable. That has been David Moyes’s approach to most games against the so-called ‘big six’, but this time it won’t wash.

Manchester United are there for the taking right now, and West Ham must ensure that we get three Premier League points against them tomorrow.

Nothing less than a win will do, especially after the disaster at Anfield. And with a sickness bug ripping through the Man United squad, we won’t have a better chance of beating them.
