West Ham United v Manchester United: match preview

West Ham United v Manchester United
West Ham United v Manchester United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Manchester United head to the London Stadium after five straight victories and unbeaten in their last 12 matches. How José Mourinho would love to continue 2017 in a similar vein with a sixth. However, he will be without Eric Bailly, who has joined up with his Ivory Coast team-mates before the Africa Cup of Nations while Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney are both doubts. West Ham, who lost at Leicester City on Saturday, may be without the captain Mark Noble. Ben Fisher
