West Ham v Man Utd H Sun 22 September 2pm. Do the Mata Matics and it adds up to a win for us.
Starting to get writers block after going five unbeaten but who'd of thought this would happen?
Cresswell in for Arthur is the only change I can see us making for another winnable game. Rashford and his pace is the biggest threat but United have lost their aura, which was a big weapon in the past, and comes of the back of a Europa Thursday.
The London Stadium should be up for this, as should West Ham.
2-1 Hammers.

But I think we can get something from this, at home. Man U don't scare me none :scary:
# Pogba takes one
We registered one shot on target last night, so we're still not there as an attacking force. Anderson seems to prefer playing at home so hopefully home to Man U will motivate him more than Villa away seemed to; he could be key if he turns up.
I'd find a place on the bench for Holland, possibly for Snodgrass. His pace and direct play could be very handy later on in the game.
Cagey 1-1 I reckon.
I’d have Cresswell in 100%
He's not had one first team match where I felt he was making mistake after mistake while unfortunately Cresswell has (based on his most recent performances for us).
For me it's between Zabaleta and Johnson. I'd be leaning more towards Johnson but it's a close one.
Also, it's worth considering that Anderson thrives off movement from our other players. He benefitted greatly from Masuaku's overlapping runs. Without Masuaku in the team, we need someone who can overlap Anderson on our attacks.
My concern is how easily he gets skinned by pretty much anyone now, and when he gets out of position his tracking back is woeful, so yeah, I'd rather play Johnson who, despite his inexperience, at least has some pace and can get goalside of his man.
Zaba isn't as big a concern, and I think Pellegrini will probably start him at left-back, but his lack of pace will be shown up by Man U's forwards.

I took him up the park for a kick around this weekend just gone
Other than that we should be looking for a positive outcome from this game. I’d be very disappointed if we didn’t at least get a draw.
I don't think he's a liability because of his speed going, just not as good as he used to be.
Outcast certainly not as good as he was, which is why he is with us... 🤪
I think we have to go with him as first chance, if he is no good then we can move on...
Apart from him it’s a kid or Cresswell or I suppose we could move Reid there, we bought him as a RB... non those options is better than giving Zab the chance I think.
