How will West Ham line up vs Man Utd: Aaron Cresswell to come in with Pablo Fornals an option

West Ham will be without Arthur Masuaku after his red card at Aston Villa so Aaron Cresswell is set to start at left-back against Manchester United.

Cresswell’s only appearance in the Premier League this season came against Manchester City on the opening day when he struggled and West Ham lost 5-0.

Youngster Ben Johnson is another option at left-back but West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini is likely to go with Cresswell’s experience.

There is unlikely to be many other changes from the side that has started the last two games.

Andriy Yarmolenko did struggle to make an impact on the Aston Villa so Pablo Fornals could come in.

The new centre-back partnership of Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna with stay together and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will be looking for a third successive clean sheet.
