OH NO! IT'S LONDON AGAIN!--WEST HAM UNITED VS MAN UNITED PREVIEW!


If there is one fixture that sours my mouth it's this one! It's hard to remember a game against West Ham at Upton Park in which United did not concede at least one goal. That slight statistic makes you wonder if we can actually rely on the 1-0 scoreline that has shot us back to the summit of the league. West Ham are Manchester United's boogey side in chief! For some reason, they find it easier against us.
Having said all that, we've lost there for the past two seasons and still gone on to win the league. Hopefully, a change in results will not change our fortune.
By the time we play this game, we might be second in the league as Liverpool play on Saturday. That means failure to win could give the Dippers a much needed boost as far as the title race is concerned. It certainly not what Sir Alex wants even if defeat would only put a scratch to our title hopes. United must be dreading another visit to London as we've won one in our last 9 visits there. Hopefully the luck is with us this time.
Team News: Tevez will start because Rooney will be on the bench alongside Evra. Brown will come in for Neville so that makes it a rather experienced back four.
The rest of the team picks itself. The boss will decide if Giggs is needed ahead of Fletcher.
A win for us sets us up nicely for that soon to come game in hand!
Other than that, it's been a week of remembering the 1958 Munich disaster that claimed 23 lives including 7 players.
And then it was nice to see Vidic recognised as player of the month by the FA. Berbatov is the fan's player of the month while Sir Alex is everybody's manager of the month.
