Manchester United travel to West Ham United in Saturday’s evening Premier League kickoff in what will be the first game with fans this season.
We head into the weekend two points outside of the Champions League places and five points off the top, with a game in hand on each of the top four.
David Moyes’ side themselves are sitting in fifth, on a three-match winning streak themselves.
The two lineups for this evening’s game are confirmed as:
Manchester United
Dean Henderson; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Alex Telles; Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Paul Pogba; Mason Greenwood, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial
Substitutes: Lee Grant, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes drop to the bench, whilst David de Gea and Fred miss out on the squad entirely. The latter is a surprise given he is suspended midweek.
The same back four that started midweek retain their places, whilst Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba both come into central midfield roles. Dean Henderson makes his first Premier League start for Manchester United.
Edinson Cavani continues to lead the line and will be supported by Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.
West Ham United
Lukasz Fabianski; Fabian Balbuena, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Arthur Masuako; Jarrod Bowen, Sebastian Haller, Pablo Fornals
Substitutes: Darron Randolph, Issa Diop, Ben Johnson, Mark Noble, Robert Snodgrass, Manuel Lanzini, Said Benrahma
Sebastian Haller replaces the injured Michail Antonio up front for the hosts in the only change since their 2-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend.
Antonio’s absence should be a huge boost to us.
The Hammers have been in good form in this 3-4-3 formation which sees wingbacks Artur Masuako and Jarrod Bowen drop to defensive roles when out of possession. As a result, we expect both teams to score.
