West Ham have the chance to move three points clear of Manchester United in the Premier league table when the sides meet at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Hammers have recovered from their opening 5-0 defeat at Manchester City to take eight points from the subsequent four games, leaving them with a points total that is bettered by only the top two.

West Ham vs Manchester United team news
Michail Antonio and Winston Reid are both long-term injury absentees, while Arthur Masuaku is suspended after getting sent off in the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa last week.

West Ham vs Manchester United preview
Manuel Pellegrini's team has certainly tightened up at the back since leaking five goals on the opening day of the season against his former club, conceding just twice in five matches and none in the most recent three.
They will therefore back themselves to hold strong against a Red Devils team that has found the net just four times in six league games on the road, and is missing a number of key attacking players.
West Ham vs Manchester United predictions
In fact, odds of 6/5 (2.20) look particularly generous on no more than two goals being scored for West Ham's fifth game in six, as well as Manchester United's ninth in 11 in all competitions.
