Manchester United vs West Ham
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester
Kick-off time: 5:30pm GMT
Manchester United will attempt to address a worrying run of form when they welcome West Ham to Old Trafford this evening.
Defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday was their fourth defeat in five games, seeing United slip to sixth and five points adrift of third-placed Chelsea.
In West Ham, however, they welcome opposition who are still without a win on the road in 2019. Manuel Pellegrini’s side are meandering towards an uninspiring end to the season but could further disrupt United’s top-four plans.

Man Utd vs West Ham team news and predicted line-ups
Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic missed Wednesday’s defeat to Barcelona and will be assessed ahead of the visit of the Hammers.
Alexis Sanchez is in contention to return after his recent injury woes but a reshuffle at the back will be required with both Ashley Young and Luke Shaw set to serve a one-match suspension.
Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia remain unavailable with Diogo Dalot likely to slot in at right-back.
The fit-again Marcos Rojo may be Solskjaer's only option on the left.
Samir Nasri was due to come on as a substitute at Chelsea on Monday night, only to suffer a calf injury while warming up which will rule him out of this weekend's trip to Old Trafford.
Jack Wilshere played for the club's under-23s on Monday, his first action since a brief substitute appearance in December.
"Wilshere is almost ready," added Pellegrini. "He played for the under-23s and will play another one, then after that he will work with us."
Man Utd XI: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Smalling, Rojo, Matic, McTominay, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Martial, Lukaku
