West Ham and Manchester United have met three times already this season, after the "Hammers" made it difficult for their opponents in the FA Cup as the match had to be replayed after a 2-2 draw. The biggest nightmare for Londoners is Robin van Persie, who has scored four goals in those three games and is in great shape.
Reds convincingly lead in the standings and have a chance to increase their lead to 18 points before the second Manchester City. The team will go into this match without problems with injured players and Sir Alex will have the best of his squad.
For the moment, West Ham is on a safe place in the standings, but there is still a danger for team to be drawn into the relegation battle. The hosts will have problems in defense, where James Tomkins is in doubt for the match.
Back in 1995 Reds lost the title right after a draw with West Ham and, although it has been a while since then, Sir Alex Ferguson must not have forgotten this experience and will never underestimate this opponent.
