Two teams desperate for victory will be up against each other on Sunday as West Ham United host Manchester United in a Premier League fixture at London Stadium. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of defeats in the mid-week, with the hosts being thrashed 3-0 by Manchester City, while the Red Devils suffered a narrow 1-0 loss away to Brighton & Hove Albion. As of now, the Hammers are languishing at the 15th spot in the English top flight standings, with 34 points to their name from as many games, just four points clear of the relegation zone. The visitors, meanwhile, have a game in hand and are sitting at the fourth position, with 63 points to their name, just a solitary point clear of fifth-placed Liverpool, who have played two games more.

West Ham suffered their 18th top flight-defeat of the season against leaders Man City on Wednesday night courtesy of second half efforts from Nathan Ake, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. It was their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League. The Hammers have won only nine top flight matches this season and their last success came away to Bournemouth thanks to four unanswered goals from Michail Antonio, Lucas Paqueta, Declan Rice and Pablo Fornals. David Moyes’s side will face Man United, Brentford, Leeds United and Leicester City in their final four league games of the season, and they are also in the semi-finals of the Europa conference League, preparing to take on AZ Alkmaar in the two-legged encounter.
Manchester United, on the other hand, after the game against West Ham, will take on Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham before ending their campaign with a FA Cup final against city rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils lost out to Brighton last time out courtesy of Alexis Mac Allister’s dramatic 99th-minute penalty kick. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s side have been impressive at home this term, having taken 39 points from 16 matches and losing only once in the process, but their away-form has been a cause of concern, winning just one of their last five on the road. On a positive note, the Red Devils defeated West Ham 2-1 in the reverse fixture in September last year.
West Ham United probable starting lineup: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio
Manchester United probable starting lineup: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Rashford, Sancho
