Manchester United will take on relegation-threatened West Ham United in the Premier League at Old Trafford tonight.
Following a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Everton, the Red Devils returned to winning ways by defeating Crystal Palace last weekend. They have lost only one out of the last seven games, accumulating 21 points from 13 games.
On the other hand, West Ham will be coming into this game off the back of a 2-0 loss to Liverpool. They have earned 11 points from 13 matches thus far.
Team news
Benjamin Sesko isn’t in contention to feature in this game due to a knee problem, while Harry Maguire is set to be sidelined with his injury.
After picking up a knock in training, Matheus Cunha was sidelined in the last two games. Thankfully, he has recovered from his issue and is available to feature tonight.
Lisandro Martínez was unavailable since sustaining a serious knee injury back in February, but he made his return against Crystal Palace last weekend. However, Ruben Amorim says that two players are in doubt for this fixture, but didn’t reveal their names.
Predicted line-up
Senne Lammens should keep hold of his place in goal, while Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw could be the back three. The Frenchman has displayed below-average performances in the last two games, but he is expected to continue.
On the other hand, Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot are likely to be the two wing-backs. Therefore, Martínez, Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu may feature off the bench if needed.
Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes could be the midfield pairing; in that case, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo would have to make do with a place on the bench.
Bryan Mbeumo should be on the right flank, and Mason Mount might be on the opposite side after scoring the winner last time out. However, Cunha could get the nod to start in the No.9 position ahead of Joshua Zirkzee, even though the Dutchman managed to put his name on the scoresheet vs the Eagles.
Expected Man Utd line-up vs West Ham
Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Bruno, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha, Mount
