West Ham V Man Utd at Boleyn Ground - Match Preview

West Ham defender James Tomkins (calf) is a doubt for the Barclays Premier League clash against leaders Manchester United at Upton Park.

Winston Reid (hip) and George McCartney (knee) are also struggling for fitness, so Emanuel Pogatetz is ready to stand in.

Midfielder Mark Noble (shoulder) is close to a return, but Joe Cole (hamstring) remains a doubt.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce feels it has been "pretty scary" to see Manchester United's dominance this season.

The Red Devils could stretch their lead at the top of the table to 18 points with victory at Upton Park, which would leave them within touching distance of the title once again.

Allardyce believes the way Sir Alex Ferguson's men have gone about wrestling back superiority from rivals Manchester City, spearheaded by the goals of #24million striker Robin van Persie, has been awe inspiring.

"I think you have to say the (United) team is as good as it has ever been because nobody normally wins the title so easily and by so big a margin, or has this much of a margin at this stage of the season," said Allardyce.

"It is pretty scary what total they might actually finish with.

"Manchester United have been outstanding and it is been about how their squad rotation has been Sir Alex's masterpiece as usual, about playing the right team at the right time.

"I suppose you could say that because they got knocked out of the Champions League a little sooner than usual and because they got knocked out of the FA Cup and Capital One Cup, it has given them the strength and energy to be what they are in the Barclays Premier League this year.

"They have not had the normal focus on three or four competitions almost to the end, the focus has come on the Premier League and they have just breezed it.

"They have just gone 'bang' and everyone else can't get near them."

Sir Alex Ferguson has reported no new injury concerns for Manchester United.

Tom Cleverley, Ryan Giggs, Jonny Evans, Rafael, Danny Welbeck and Nani are all hoping for a recall but Ashley Young (ankle) and Paul Scholes (knee) remain sidelined.

The Red Devils require just seven more points to seal a 20th league title.
