'The stronger and better team' - West Ham fans full of confidence ahead of Man United clash

West Ham United take on Manchester United at the London Stadium this afternoon (Sunday).

Both teams have had a decent start to the season, having picked up eight points from their opening five games of the season.

The Hammers are one of the teams tipped to make a challenge for a top six place in the Premier League at the end of the campaign, and a result against United will be a big statement at the start of the season.

The lineups for the match have been revealed, with Manuel Pellegrini forced into making two changes for the game. The suspended Arthur Masuaku being replaced by Aaron Cresswell, while Pablo Fornals has come in for the injured Manuel Lanzini.

As reported by football.london , Lanzini has been ruled out for up to three or four weeks after picking up an injury while on international duty with Argentina. The news will come as a blow to West Ham as the 26-year-old has started the season in brilliant form, registering two assists.

Following the team news, West Ham fans have taken to social media to give their reaction, and despite the injury blow, most seem pretty confident of picking up three points from the game.

Should they win today, West Ham will go above Manchester United in the table.
