The basic Blades entertains a Hammers side under new management since their last meeting. What can Moyes achieve in his second game in charge?

Chris Wilder and his Sheff side’s last outing was not a favourable one and a fixture they went in as the second-best side. They took a trip to Anfield and were masterly outplayed by a determined Liverpool side. They met immediately after the Reds were crowned king club of the world.

The confidence was so ripe at Anfield, even the security would have scored if he was to take the pitch. However, in saying this, they kept the scoreline to 2-0, which was an amazing achievement against a team running riot on home soil.

More from Premier League

Their visitors are busy with reconstruction after recent changers, bringing in an old foreman from the past to get them back on the blueprint they were supposed to follow at the commencement of the season.

Since the re-entry of David Moyes, gameplay plus results have been immediately affected. After a single game involved as the manager of West Ham, he has already collected three points. Other than collecting all the spoils from a single fixture, they did it in style.

A 4-0 drubbing over a struggling Bournemouth was the perfect kickstart for Moyes in his second stint as the head Hammer in the Premier League. But the reality check could come as early as tonight when they travel to Bramall Lane.

The Hammers have visited this venue twice and on both occasions, they left with nothing show the fans back at home. Counting against Moyes is the Hammers stat on the road. Furthermore, they are winless in their last eight outings away from London Stadium.

Next. Liverpool’s longterm plans continue. dark

If anything, nothing but their last win against the Cherries stands in favour of Moyes taking all the points, or even a point. All-in-all, this is going to be a great start to Matchday 22.
