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

West Ham will see this as a fine opportunity to establish themselves as genuine contenders to finish in the top six. They won this fixture last season and are unbeaten in five games in all competitions before hosting Manchester United, who beat Astana in the Europa League on Thursday. While West Ham have few injury concerns, United are without Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial. Daniel James is also a doubt for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side. Jacob Steinberg
