West Ham vs Man Utd - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
West Ham and Manchester United clash at the London Stadium on Sunday night in a game rescheduled because of the coronation of King Charles III.
Proceedings get underway in east London at the rather awkward time of 7pm, leaving travelling supporters little time to scramble home before reduced train services take over for the extra bank holiday.
There should be more excitement on the field at least, with West Ham still scrapping for their Premier League lives and United trying to ensure there's no late season wobbles to derail their quest for Champions League qualification.
Thursday's 1-0 defeat to Brighton didn't help United's cause in that regard, while West Ham have lost their last three after a brief resurgence - they sit four points above the dreaded relegation zone.
Here's 90min's preview of the game.

West Ham vs Man Utd score prediction
The Hammers would have hoped to be safe by now but defeats to Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Liverpool in their last three outings have kept the alarm bells sounding in the ears of Moyes and his players.
Former United manager Moyes has a really ordinary record against teams from the perceived 'big six' and have managed only three wins against United in their previous 17 meetings in all competitions.
Alexis Mac Allister's stoppage-time penalty condemned United to another defeat on the road against a top half side, but they have a far better record against struggling sides - a bracket West Ham definitely fall into.
The firepower provided by Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could just eek the visitors over the line, though they will need to be wary of the threat Michail Antonio could impose on a weakened backline.
