West Ham are pressing Manchester United as high up the field as possible early doors.

Manchester United are in their white away strip this afternoon. West Ham? Claret and blue, of course.

We're all set then. Big Sam v LvG. Red Devils v Hammers. Ian Brown v Danny Dyer. Let's do this.

"Stewart Downing has had a big influence on West Ham's good form this season but so has the athleticism of the new signings Sam Allardyce has added. Andy Carroll is not leading the line today but in Diafra Sakho they have found a goalscorer and he and Enner Valencia up front will really test the Manchester United defence this afternoon."

West Ham

Alex Song predicts big things for West Ham once they move into the Olympic Stadium.

"I am sure in the next five years West Ham will challenge with clubs like Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea," he said.

"Then when they jump to the new stadium I think more players will come in and the club will look different."

West Ham

West Ham's hopes of keeping on-loan midfielder Alex Song have been boosted after he revealed that his children don't want him to move again.

"They are more than happy," he said of his children's mood at returning to England.

"My boys were saying yesterday "Daddy I don't to leave here any more, you have to stay." They love London.

"They are very happy here and for my family, the most important thing is happiness, all they want me to do is perform to make them happy.

"The thing that hurt me the most was my kids because they were seeing me play every single game, every single week at Arsenal.

"Then when I left my boys one day were coming to me going, 'Daddy why aren't you playing? Is it because the manager doesn't like you?' It was hard for me to explain to them that it isn't easy at Barcelona."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on including Angel Di Maria after an attempted break-in at his Cheshire home: "You have to communicate with each other and you have to make a decision. I've probably made the right decision."

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce, speaking to Sky Sports: "We're back to the start of the season when we had Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho up front. Andy Carroll has done really well since he came back but he is injured for this one. For me it's about containing the quality of Manchester United's front line. They don't need too many chances to score goals. They can get a goal out of nothing. Today is a big challenge for us."

West Ham United defender Reece Oxford will become the club's youngest-ever player, external if he comes on as a substitute against Manchester Untied at the age of 16 years and 54 days.

Oxford joined the Hammers Academy as an Under-13 player, progressing rapidly to agree his first professional contract in January. A regular for West Ham's Under-21 side, Oxford has also worn the captain's armband for his country, winning nine caps for England at Under-17 level and three for the Under-16s.

Stoke striker Peter Crouch: "I thought we controlled the game and deserved to win. It was a cruel blow when they scored as I thought we'd been on top.

"I was pleased to get the goal and the point was the least we deserved today."

David Willis: Peter Crouch again! Always seems to find a way. Build him a statue outside the Britannia, if you can find enough iron!

Hugh Jardon: Always a plan B when Crouch is around.

John: Burnley 2-2 West Brom, Newcastle 1-1 Stoke, so 0-0 next?

BBC Sport commentator Simon Brotherton: "You sense it is very much a work in progress at Manchester United - there is a lot more to come and if they are getting results already then everyone better look out."

Football writer Amy Lawrence: "Do they look like a team that convinces you? I do not think they look like the real deal yet."

"It's a fair result. It was a bit of a boring and mundane first half but the game came into life later in the second half. Overall it's a good point for Stoke. And what a brilliant substitution to bring on Geoff Cameron and Peter Crouch, who combined for the goal."

So, if Manchester United do manage to win today they will move back into third and within three points of neighbours City. Would you have believed that a few weeks back? The Hammers would leapfrog Liverpool in seventh with the victory.

We'll let you know what John Carver's having for his tea when we find out, but until then... let's switch focus to Upton Park.
