Manchester United face West Ham United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.

With United in second and the Hammers lying in fifth, this fixture would have been an unlikely candidate to have European permutations at the beginning of the season.

West Ham have experienced a terrific campaign, but they may struggle to come away from Manchester with a positive result.

What is the team news?

David de Gea has been described as “touch and go” by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after he returned to England following the birth of his child. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are both set to be assessed before the match, but Edinson Cavani will likely miss out. Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Phil Jones and Donny van de Beek are out.

Loanee Jesse Lingard is not able to face his parent club, while Arthur Masuaku, Angelo Ogbonna, Andriy Yarmolenko and Darren Randolph all miss out with injury.

Confirmed line-ups

Manchester United: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; James, Fernandes, Rashford; Greenwood

West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Diop, Dawson, Cresswell, Johnson, Rice, Soucek, Noble, Bowen, Antonio

Odds

Manchester United: 5/6

Draw: 5/2

West Ham: 7/2

Prediction

The Hammers have struggled at Old Trafford in recent times, which would suggest a United win. However, Manchester United have struggled to find the net recently and with so many injuries to key attacking players, West Ham may prove to be a stubborn proposition. 1-1.
