GOOD AFTERNOON
Welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League match between West Ham and Manchester United.
It’s a squad of happy Hammers that await the visitors at the London Stadium with the high-flying hosts having won their last three league games.
Yet they were fortunate to pick up three points against Aston Villa on Monday, relying on slow-starting opponents, a missed penalty and large, late slice of VAR luck.
Nevertheless, David Moyes has never had it so good during his two spells in charge of West Ham, and another victory against his former employers this evening would lift his side temporarily to third.
Michail Antonio is out again, having succumbed to a hamstring strain on Monday night, so expect Sebastian Haller to start up top; Andriy Yarmolenko could return after recovering from coronavirus.
United may have been softened by PSG at Old Trafford in midweek, but they remain a force to be reckoned with on their travels.
Their away from has been brilliant in the second half of this year, and they currently find themselves on a club record run of eight consecutive away victories in the Premier League.
They’ve made a habit of doing it the hard way too, winning the last four from behind; the 3-2 win at Southampton last Sunday came after they trailed by two goals at half-time.
Bruno Fernandes was brilliant in that comeback at St Mary’s while Edinson Cavani showed his class with two goals off the bench, a performance only soured by his Instagram indiscretion that followed.
Marcus Rashford is set to continue up front despite an ongoing shoulder issue, but defenders Luke Shaw and Phil Jones remain unavailable for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
We’ll have confirmation of the two teams shortly with kick-off at the London Stadium to come at 5.30pm.
