West Ham United midfielder Jack Collison is excited about facing Manchester United today.

Collison, who has scored two goals in his last two games, admits he can't wait to take on United and hopes to shine in the big match environment.

"As a footballer, playing in the big games is something you really look forward to," Collison told the club's official website.

"Especially for me, I'm a young player playing in the Premier League and the home games against Manchester United and Chelsea are massive for someone like me.

"We don't go into any game thinking we're going to lose, we go out there trying to get a result and do the best we can."
