Man Utd predicted lineup vs West Ham - Premier League
Manchester United are back in action less than 72 hours after sampling defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
Alexis Mac Allister's dramatic late penalty condemned Erik ten Hag's United to a seventh away defeat against the Premier League's top nine - the recent 2-2 draw with Spurs, a game the Red Devils were 2-0 up in, is the only time they've picked up a point.
West Ham are far closer to the bottom of the table than they are to the top half, with pre-season hopes of another push for European football quickly tempered by defeat after defeat. The Hammers could still make that dream become a reality, however, after reaching the last four of the Europa Conference League.
United are yet to secure a top four finish, despite being in a healthy position, and rotation could come into effect as Ten Hag looks to pick up three valuable points in the capital. Here's how the Dutchman may line his side up.

Man Utd predicted lineup vs West Ham (4-3-3)
GK: David de Gea - The Spaniard's hopes of a 16th clean sheet of the season were dashed at Brighton by Alexis Mac Allister's late penalty - shame as De Gea had pulled off a number of fine saves.
RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - From a defensive one-on-one perspective, Wan-Bissaka might actually be the best right-back in the world.
CB: Victor Lindelof - The Swede has upped his game since coming into the side for the injured Raphael Varane. Will feel he still has a point to prove.
CB: Luke Shaw - A rogue arm in the air cost United dear at the Amex Stadium in midweek, which spoiled what was otherwise another competent performance in central defence.
LB: Diogo Dalot - Right side, left side, it doesn't really matter to Dalot, who will come up against Jarrod Bowen in east London.
DM: Casemiro - The Brazilian has been a very good signing on the whole for United but really needs to work on his discipline - could easily have been sent off again against Brighton were it not for some lenient Andre Marriner officiating.
CM: Christian Eriksen - Fred's relatively all over the shop display against Brighton could open the door for Eriksen to step back into the starting XI.
CM: Bruno Fernandes - Has flourished in a deeper role in recent weeks but has the quality to put West Ham to the sword higher up.
RW: Antony - Expectations are high of the Brazilian winger, who is still adapting to life in the Premier League. Got a bit tetchy against Brighton - getting up in the grill of Mac Allister - which shows he's desperate to do better.
CF: Marcus Rashford - One goal in Rashford's last four Premier League outings means we're officially entering drought territory. No but seriously, a goal here would do wonders for United's Champions League hopes.
LW: Jadon Sancho - Rumours of a loan return to Borussia Dortmund have surprisingly surfaced, though it's difficult to imagine a world where United let one of their most naturally talented players leave. Martial out and Sancho in could be the move Ten Hag makes at London Stadium.
