Leicester away in the FA Cup is a week today.

We go to Italy on Thursday, then 3 days later we're playing Leicester.

Huge week.

First game back after the international break is Brighton at home in the League on Saturday 3rd April.

Certainly everything is set up for west ham to come and win here today. We're ravaged by injuries and played ac milan barely 3 days ago and they've had 6 days to prepare for this.

this. about time they tonked us.

we are running on empty.

Then we have milan and leicester both away in the next few days.

Big big week.

City win should give some confidence but then you see that shit vs Milan.

Michail Antonio and Soucek will fancy it tonight.

But so will Rashy, Greeny and Bruno.

Best we could’ve hoped for. We’re due a performance at OT imo

wasn't Rashford injured?

happy to see James play though, think he'll get alot of joy out of West Ham's fullbacks.

bit concerned about the midfield though, not a lot of good passers of the ball in there.

Lindelof for Bailly to be expected, Ole clearly prefers him and tbf to the guy he has played well in recent weeks.

making the ball stick with our strikers will be the real issue though, neither Greenwood or Rashford are good at playing with their back to goal.

Manchester United 3-1 West Ham United

massive game today given the outcomes with chelsea and spurs just losing to arsenal...

3 points would really solidify our spot in the top 4 and open up a nice gap to 5th

Think we’ll lose.

2-1 would take a draw.

I watched West Ham on Monday night. They played well and were full of confidence. But we are better than them, and they will miss Lingard.

If we keep are concentration at set pieces then I expect a fairly routine win.

No gifts then 3 points to us.

2-0 United

That's the spirit, you cranky old £#%&!er.

This has got nil nil shit fest written all over it

Brown for them, Fernandes for us (pen). We are in zero danger of falling out of top 4 so just tick the league games off and focus on the cups.

6-2 and 9-0 not count then

For a powerpack who got it prematch hype anecdote i saw Dan James driving into Carrington at 1045 this morning. Just precisely what do they do for 8. 5 hours?..

Not brush up on tactics etc..

We’re allowed more than 2 in a season pal..

how many free fouls will noble get?

definitely need to be fully committed to defending set pieces and especially Soucek

2 nil united
