Team news

Manuel Pellegrini has suggested Aaron Cresswell is likely to start for West Ham at left-back owing to Arthur Masuaku's ban, while the Hammers will also be without Michail Antonio and Winston Reid, the latter returning to full training next week after more than a year out. Manuel Lanzini is also a doubt, and will undergo a late fitness test.

Dan James could be recalled by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having missed Manchester United's win over Astana on Thursday, but will be tested ahead of Sunday's game after the knock he picked up against Leicester. Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are both absent.

• West Ham have won two of their last four Premier League home games against Man Utd (D1 L1), as many as they had in their first 19 home games against them in the competition (W2 D9 L8).
• Manchester United have scored more Premier League goals against West Ham United than any other side has in the competition (94).
• Manchester United have only lost twice in their last 21 Premier League meetings with West Ham (W14 D5 L2), failing to score in just two of those matches (0-0 in Dec 2015 & 0-0 in May 2018).
• West Ham United have won only three times in their last 20 Premier League matches against 'big six' opposition (W3 D6 L11), with one of those victories coming against Man Utd at the London Stadium in September 2018 (3-1).
• West Ham United have won 48 points from their last 30 Premier League games (W14 D6 L10); the best record of the 'non-big six' sides over this period and just one point fewer than Tottenham Hotspur (49).
• Manchester United's starting XI has had an average age of just 25 years and 51 days; the youngest in the Premier League this season and younger than any previous Premier League season by a Manchester United side, ahead of 1995-96 (25y 345d).
• Since the start of last season, Manchester United have taken (16), scored (11) and missed (5) more penalties in the Premier League than any other team.
• West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini has won a Premier League game against three different Manchester United managers (David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho). He could become the first ever manager to beat four different Red Devils managers in the competition.

Charlie Nicholas' prediction

West Ham are a strong side and their midfield is physical - I don't know what Man Utd's situation will be. They will be tired playing on a Thursday night and will see where they are regarding injuries.

It was a big win against Leicester for Man United, and Marcus Rashford is a big hope when Anthony Martial is out. I do not see a style with United and West Ham are capable of beating them here.

Felipe Anderson started the season slow last year and then started to influence the team more. Manuel Lanzini is back in and Sebastien Haller looks a handful up front - they were the best I have seen them defensively on Monday too.
