Manchester United host West Ham United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Despite reaching the Europa League final, the Red Devils have not won their last six matches.
West Ham have not fared better, failing to win any of their last eight games, but they will climb above United if they win this fixture.
Match facts
The Hammers have not won at United in the league since 2007, losing 13 and drawing three of their last 16 visits.
They have also failed to score in their last four games at Old Trafford and conceded six goals in those matches.
West Ham won the reverse fixture and have beaten United in three of their last four meetings.
Match preview
The Mancunian giants want to finish strongly. Manager Ruben Amorim has stated that his team ‘want to win’ and be ‘competitive’ in the league.
Amorim has also hinted that he will play his key players in the league before the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite their recent struggles, West Ham will also want to secure a victory and will be encouraged by United’s poor form and glaring weaknesses.
Team news
Amorim has hinted that centre-back Harry Maguire is a doubt for this encounter. His absence could allow young Tyler Fredricson to gain more first-team experience.
Harry Amass, Amad Diallo and Mason Mount were all substitutes against Athletic Bilbao. They are likely to start against Graham Potter’s side.
The visitors will be without long-term absentees Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio. However, Potter has confirmed the return of midfielder Edson Alvarez from injury.
Key players
Man United
Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese could start this game, having not played in the defeat at Brentford. He has yet to score against the Hammers but has two assists against them.
Leny Yoro: The young French centre-back has been in brilliant form recently. He is expected to play an immense role in this encounter for United.
West Ham
Jarrod Bowen: The England international has stood out for West Ham this term, chipping in with 19 goal involvements. He has scored two career goals against United.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: The full-back has looked reborn since joining the London club last summer. He has created six big chances in the league, a tally only bettered by Bowen.
