Back to Premier League football tonight, when struggling West Ham travel to the young upstarts Sheffield United, who have shocked most with their performances this season.
Sheffield United currently sit 8th, whilst West Ham are down in 16th, but there are only 7 points between them. You could also argue that the Blades have passed their peak & are reverting to the mean, while West Ham are enjoying the "new Manager bounce".
Should be a decent game.

Quite how David Moyes was sacked by West Ham & now finds himself back there is a bit of a mystery, but it's good to see him smiling - albeit briefly - after a few difficult years since he left Everton, lured by the prospect of managing Man U. Don't blame him for that, but Sir Alex was always going to be an impossible act to follow.

Mark Noble, who has been the force behind West Ham's revival, which begs the questions, why did he not give the same effort to Pelligrini?
Here's the tale of the tape from Sky Sports;

Michail Antonio, who is worth watching, & quite a handful, both on & off the pitch.
