West Ham boss David Moyes is aware of the tricky run of games Sheffield United have faced at the start of the season – not unlike the Hammers, which offers an explanation of their current position.
The Blades have been beaten by the likes of Wolves, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea along the way as they have plunged to the bottom of the table and the Hammers will need to be on their game to make sure the Blades don’t grab their first win of the season against us.
There’s always been much talk of second season-itus among promoted clubs who do well in their first campaign in the top league but United will be looking for a big result against us as they bid to turn their winless start around
We have what most of us consider an injustice to straighten out from last season when a Robert Snodgrass goal was controversially ruled out for handball by Declan Rice.
And a victory will confirm the Irons are becoming a more consistent side who can grind out results against teams seen as lesser opposition.
I think you’ll find that the disallowed goal was by Robert Snodgrass & the handball was given against Declan!
Yes, yes, all been changed. Thank you
