West Ham United is set to host Manchester United at the London Stadium this Saturday in the Premier League. The Hammers have had mixed results in recent weeks, scoring victories against Freiburg and Wolverhampton Wanderers but also conceding five goals each to Fulham and Liverpool. Former Manchester United boss David Moyes will be looking for another win against his former club after his side claimed victory in this fixture last season.
Meanwhile, Manchester United managed to secure a draw against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend, offering a brief respite from their poor form. However, a loss to West Ham this Saturday would see them overtaken by the Hammers in the league standings. The Red Devils have failed to secure a win in their last three games, with two defeats and a draw, and have struggled to find the back of the net.
In the United Kingdom, fans can watch the game on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, as well as on the discovery+ and discovery+ App. In the United States, the game will be broadcast on the USA Network, and streaming options include NBC Sports App, nbcsports.com, UNIVERSO, UNIVERSO NOW, and Telemundo Deportes En Vivo. Canadian viewers can tune in via fuboTV Canada.
West Ham will be without Michail Antonio, who is still recovering from an injury, for the clash with Manchester United. Nayef Aguerd and Maxwel Cornet’s availability for the game is uncertain after they missed the team’s recent match against Liverpool due to illness. The predicted lineup for West Ham includes Fabianski, Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson, Soucek, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Kudus, Bowen, and Paqueta.
On the other hand, Manchester United is dealing with several injury concerns, with Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez out until the new year, and Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen likely to miss the game. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are also uncertain to play, while Amad Diallo is still injured. But there is a possibility that Anthony Martial will return from illness. Jadon Sancho is still sidelined, and Diogo Dalot will be suspended for the weekend. Bruno Fernandes will return from his ban, which is good news for the Red Devils. The predicted lineup for Manchester United includes Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Varane, Shaw, Mainoo, McTominay, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund.
Despite the recent Carabao Cup disappointment, West Ham may have a slight advantage playing at home. However, Manchester United will be boosted by their recent draw against Liverpool. Both teams have shown inconsistency this season, and the game is expected to be a tight and cautious affair. Scoring goals has been a problem for Manchester United, who have failed to find the net in their last three matches in all competitions. As a result, the clash could end up being a closely contested match with both sides potentially cancelling each other out.
