West Ham vs Liverpool,
Upton Park,
20/09/14
Kick off - 5:30pm
Noticed there wasn't a pre-match thread for this one. I always look forward to this game as I live locally and a lot of my mates are west ham fans. Should be a tough test for us, like many others i'd like to see us play the diamond with two up top. I think balotelli works a lot better with a partner who moves a lot around him, funnily enough that might just be borini. If we want to keep pace with chelsea we could really do with winning this game, despite how early in the season it is. I'm going to the game but sitting with the west ham fans which should be.. interesting
