Manchester United have a trip to London, where they will face West Ham United at the London Stadium, looking to improve on their loss to Young Boys in the Champions League. Hosts West Ham are enjoying a good start to the season and are coming from a 2-0 away win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League. Going to this game, the two sides are two points apart, West Ham with eight points and in eighth place while Manchester United are top of the table with 10 points. In West Ham’s win in Croatia on Thursday, Michail Antonio was on the score sheet for his fifth goal in five matches. He will however be suspended for the United game, after being sent off in the last league match, against Southampton. West Ham have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches and five of their last six league games have produced over 2.5 goals. They have two straight clean sheets going to this game but both teams have scored in three of their last five. In 10 league matches at home, West Ham have six wins and scored two or more in eight.

Manchester United were served a shock defeat in Switzerland in the Champions League on Tuesday and will be hoping to bounce back in this game. They are unbeaten away from home in 28 league matches and this is among the factors they will hope plays out here. One area of improvement for the Red Devils should be in defence, having kept one clean sheet in the last five matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in four of their last five matches. In attack, they have an edge even with Marcus Rashford out injured; Cristiano Ronaldo has done the job well and will be among the key players for this. The Portuguese forward has scored three in two matches since rejoining the team.
