David Moyes enjoyed Hammers 'stroll in the park' against Sheffield United as he reached his 900th top flight game as a manager by heaping more pain on the struggling Blades, or Blunts as they are often derogatively referred to.

Although the score line was not as comprehensive as some had hoped for it was still a win AND a clean sheet.

Having been crushed 8-0 at home by Newcastle the previous week the visitors were surely going to put a shift in to try and restore their pride, but try as they might they did little if anything to trouble Alphonse Areola in Hammers goal.

West Ham: Areola, Coufal, Zouma (c), Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Bowen, Antonio. Subs: Fabianski, Kudus, Fornals, Mavropanos, Cornet, Ings, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Kehrer.
Sheffield: Foderingham, Amedhodzic, Egan (c), Robinson, Bogle, Souza, Hamer, McAtee, Thomas, Archer, McBurnie. Subs: Davies, Trusty, Basham, Brewster, Traore, Norwood, Davies, Slimane, Larouci.

Hammers welcome Sheffield United for today's home game, there has been SOME mention of past events in the run up to the game, but to clarify things we thought we would add some additional information for those not in the know.

There are many of the 'new generation' of Hammers fans who only have vague memories of the 'Carlos Tevez' saga. Javier Mascherano's role in the story has almost been completely forgotten despite his arrival at the same time as Tevez.
