West Ham will be looking to take advantage of Manchester United’s latest slump when Jose Mourinho’s side visit the London Stadium for the day’s early kick-off.
The Red Devils had been on a three-game winning streak before their 1-1 draw with Wolves at Old Trafford last weekend. That result was then compounded by a humiliating defeat to Frank Lampard’s Derby County in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are brimming with confidence after an 8-0 win over Macclesfield in midweek. They’ll be looking to extend their unbeaten run to three games against United

It’s a big game for…
Andriy Yarmolenko: The Ukrainian has shown his best and his worst form in West Ham’s previous two games. The former Borussia Dortmund man inspired a 3-1 win at Everton with two goals but then missed a gilt-edged chance last weekend that would have given Pellegrini’s outfit three points at home to Chelsea. With another of the so-called ‘Big Six’ coming to the London Stadium, the Chilean will hope Yarmolenko can show his A-game once again.
Best stat…
Four: Romelu Lukaku could join Thierry Henry, Daniel Sturridge and Sergio Aguero in becoming only the fourth player to score in each of their side’s first four away matches of a Premier League season.
Player to watch…
Fred: The summer signing from Shakhtar Donetsk was on target against Wolves last weekend and proved to shine as one of United’s best attacking threats while the likes of Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez struggled. Jose Mourinho will need the midfielder to test Lukasz Fabianski as he did Rui Patricio last week, as well as putting in the hard yards once again on a wide London Stadium pitch, if the Red Devils are to return to winning ways.
