Slav’s ready for the Reds

Hopefully this will be Slav at the final whistle

Slaven Bilic maybe disappointed and angry but Manchester United holds no fears despite Mourinho’s team being on a great run.

Speaking to the official site the boss said: ” “We are confident and I am confident. We are, of course, very frustrated and disappointed that we lost on Saturday.

“The reason I am angry and frustrated is that [we lost the game, but] we played well. It is still a good pattern for our next game or games.

“If we play like we did on Saturday or play like we have been recently we will have chances against any team.

“Of course Manchester United are on a great run with five wins in a row, so it is going to be a great game.”

The Hammers will need to take a look at Mark Noble’s fitness after he received a blow to the knee from Leicester’s Daniel Amartey, and the boss said other changes will depend on how his players recover from Saturday’s effort.

He added: “It’s a special circumstance [at this time of year] because the next game comes in no time. You want your best team and your best players to play, but it is more about talking to players and feeling how they really feel.

“We will see, but we don’t have many more injuries than the other teams are having. Our bench on Saturday was a good one as well, so we have options.”
