"I could see them sitting in," Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Manchetser United v West Ham clash

Manchester United have the chance to move into the top four of the Premier League table for the first time since September when they welcome West Ham United to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has made a prediction for the game. "West Ham have been brilliant since the break, and they will cause Man Utd problems. Eric Bailly might be out so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will revert back to a back four. Manchester United must be focusing all of their energy on a top four spot. This game is key and you would expect Martial, Greenwood and Marcus Rashford to be back leading the line," he said. "Could West Ham take their finger off it? Possibly. I could see them sitting in, but if they cannot support Michail Antonio, they will struggle to get out. Man Utd have pace and movement up front, but their defence is not right. David De Gea has world class attributes but his confidence is broken, and yet he stays in the team. He has become a liability for big games. Since the return, Tottenham away was the big game and Manchester United drew that, with the games after being ones which you would expect a decent Manchester United side to win. "This one is a must-win, which then gives them a cushion of a draw in the last game at Leicester to get into the top four, and they will get over the line in this one. It will be tense but they will wear West Ham down." Nicholas thinks Manchester United will beat West Ham with a 3-1 score. Source: Sky Sports
