Premier League: Live Score: Manchester United vs West Ham United: Prediction, Probable lineup, Head-to-head, Key stats

Last week, Erik ten Hag's team played Chelsea to a 1-1 draw and defeated Sheriff 3-0 to retain their acceptable record. They will face a West Ham squad that has won its previous two matches, beating Bournemouth 2-0 last week and Silkeborg in the Europa League.

This afternoon, West Ham will look to continue their revival by achieving their best season result and defeating Manchester United.

West Ham has only lost one of their past eight matches across all competitions, but Erik ten Hag's United have only lost one of their previous nine.

Six points separate the clubs before their match, with Manchester United on the cusp of the top four and their opponents in the middle of the league.

West Ham United are 10th in the Premier League rankings and has yet to get its stride this season. This week, the away side defeated Silkeborg 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League and will try to accomplish a similar result in this contest.

On the other hand, Manchester United is now in sixth place in the table and has improved following a sluggish start to the season.

Manchester United will now attempt to enter the top four by defeating the Hammers. Casemiro's equalizer in the final minute prevented their fourth defeat. In this unbroken streak, the Red Devils have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, achieving remarkable outcomes.

Manchester United has won 71 games against West Ham United, while West Ham United has won 46. In comparison, 32 matches have resulted in a draw.

Key stats for the game

Manchester United predicted lineup

Donny van de Beek and Harry Maguire are eligible for Sunday's matchup after returning from injury against Sheriff.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the field after serving his ban last week against Chelsea. However, despite Ronaldo's goal on Thursday night, it is more likely that Marcus Rashford will start up front for Manchester United, as Ten Hag prefers the Englishman in the Premier League.

Lisandro Martinez will maintain his position at Manchester United's defence centre. Diogo Dalot scored his first goal of the season against Sheriff, and he will now attempt to open his Premier League account.

Probable lineup: De Gea, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred

West Ham United predicted lineup

Summer signing After recuperating from an injury, Nayef Aguerd made his long-awaited debut midweek. However, Maxwel Cornet's rehabilitation from a calf injury has stalled, and defender Craig Dawson remains sidelined.

After keeping a clean sheet with Kurt Zouma against Bournemouth, Thilo Kehrer could take Dawson's place.

Probable lineup: Fabianski, Bowen, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca, Johnson, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice

Manchester United vs West Ham prediction

After shaky starts, both clubs have regained a decent level of form. Still, United's victories against Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham at Old Trafford suggest they should be able to defeat West Ham today.

Final prediction: Manchester United 2-1 West Ham
