Having won his opening two games after taking over from Manuel Pellegrini, David Moyes is looking to continue his success on Friday night.
The Hammers currently sit just above the relegation zone, in 16th, and will travel to Sheffield to face Chris Wilder’s side who are very unexpectedly in the upper half of the table.
And the great form of Sheffield United is solely down to Wilder’s managerial experience, tactics and the team’s playstyle which causes trouble to the best teams in the League.
Despite there being a few standout performers like Enda Stevens, Chris Basham or the Fantasy Premier League legend John Lundstram, the key man to their current success is a player who leads the line after his summer move to the Bramall Lane from Bournemouth.
And that’s who we think will be Blades’ dangerman on Friday.

The 23-year-old has become something of a Premier League sensations after a horrendous spell at Bournemouth – he’s now managed to find his feet under Wilder’s management.
Five goals and three assists in the league this season – including a strike against West Ham in their previous meeting – is only a small showing of how influential the striker has been to his team’s success.
Last time out, the Hammers’ weren’t able to stop the Frenchman from scoring so to be sure of bringing home all three points David Moyes will have to adjust his defensive tactics.
