Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between West Ham United and Manchester United. The first-division clash scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Boleyn Ground in Upton Park and can be live streamed here free.
After being down 2-0 to Olympiakos, David Moyes and Manchester United survived the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. Desperate for results, Moyes isn't taking his club's advancement for granted (h/t to Sky Sports). "I am thrilled that we were in that draw and the quarter-finals of the Champions League," Moyes said. "After being 2-0 down after the away leg at Olympiakos, I don't think there were too many people putting us through to the next round," he added.
"So, in a lot of ways, it didn't really matter who we drew but I've got to say we've probably got the favorites and they are the defending champions - so it's a really tough draw."
Not many will put United through to the semifinals with Bayern Munich standing in the way, but will Moyes' men be able to go through the Boleyn Ground with a much-need victory? Tell us @SportsWN
