‘I can see us winning’ – West Ham Super Fans predict Hammers clash v Man United
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Ham Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around the London Stadium.

West Ham fans are in an optimistic mood ahead of the Hammers’ clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday night.
David Moyes’ men have won four and drawn one of their last six Premier League matches and could move level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea if they win against Man United this weekend.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea dropped valuable points in the race for Champions League qualification when they drew at Leeds on Saturday and while the Irons can only move level on points with the Blues, they do still have a game in hand to play as well.
Man United haven’t been in the best of form ahead of welcoming West Ham to Old Trafford on Sunday with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men winning just four of their last 11 Premier League fixtures.
We asked our panel of West Ham Super Fans to predict the game against Man United and here is what they had to say:

Man United have beaten us twice already this season with the Red Devils winning 3-1 at the London Stadium back in December before dumping us out of the FA Cup last month.
We’ve won just three of the last 24 meetings with Man United too and haven’t won an away game at Old Trafford since Carlos Tevez netted the only goal of the game there in 2007 to keep the Hammers in the Premier League.
There was some celebration that day and while no one can go to Old Trafford on Sunday, there are bound to be some wild celebrating in fans’ living rooms if Moyes and his men can get a result versus Solsksjaer’s side.
We’d take a draw. It’s going to be a tough game and Man United have been hard to beat this season.
Some of their attacking players have been off the boil as of late and our defenders have been impressing.
West Ham Zone’s prediction is a 1-1 draw and that will go a long way in helping us qualify for European football next season.
