West Ham face a true test of character

They weren't very good the other night. They needed Herrera off before anything happened. Payet was pretty poor for his standards so I expect a reply from him on Sunday, deffo

There will be a reaction but their problems defensively won't improve by Sunday. They leave so much space in behind that Vardy and Mahrez could have a field day.

If we can stop the balls into Carroll then United showed that you nullify their ariel threat. Much depends on Payet but Kante can deal with him. Playing on wed won't have helped their energy levels.

Saying all of that I think it will be a draw...

They've done great this season. Big performance needed.

Bilic rallying his troop...Hopefully a positive response on Sunday and will make the chase for the title very interesting

Time for the tinker man to feel a bit jittery and hopefully start to tinker

I felt several weeks ago that this is one we could afford to draw, and we can but I don't think we will, I think we'll win.

I agree with BS in that they are so open at the back, meaning we will to get to play the way we want, in other words Vardy and Mahrez in space to cause problems.

I don't see Payet having too much joy because he won't find any space in behind to exploit. Our full backs won't venture forward and as soon as he tries hanging on to it, Kante will be on to him. The one worry is free kicks though.

Also I don't see Carroll getting too much joy out of Morgan and Huth either because he's just the type of striker they like to play against. Carroll certainly won't be bullying those two and I fancy our centre halves to win that battle. Crosses into the box are bread and butter for our defence, it's how we want to defend.

I also think the crowd will be massively important. The atmosphere is going to be amazing and will be a huge boost to our players. We're gonna be well up for this and brimming with confidence. I'd be happy enough with a draw but I can see us winning this.

Big big game..(aren't they all eh!!)
We need to come out of the blocks quickly and put them on the back foot. Get a couple of quick early attacks / corners to get the crowd going from the off.
Important we don't give any needless fouls away 20-30 yards out....we all know what Payet can do from set pieces .
A draw wouldn't be terrible, but another win would be incredible and knock another nail into Spurs coffin.
Another clean sheet would be nice too.....ok ok, I'm getting greedy now. !!!'

As good as West Ham have been, like spurs they've fallen whenever they've had a big opportunity.

Wednesday's game won't help them and that might take its toll on them towards the end of the game so hopefully we can take advantage.

I thought West Ham United were very impressive after they went 2 goals down.
