PREM: West Ham v Man Utd preview


West Ham v Man Utd preview

Manchester United make their first ever visit to the London Stadium to face West Ham looking to extend their 10 game unbeaten run.


United left it late to beat Middlesbrough on New Year's Eve, which stretched their winning run to five games in the Premier League - their best winning run since April 2015.

However, West Ham are unbeaten in the last four Premier League meetings with United (W1, D3) - their best unbeaten League run against the 12-time Premier League champions for 29 years. 

West Ham will check on Mark Noble after the midfielder came off in the 1-0 defeat against Leicester on Saturday.

The skipper was forced off after a strong tackle from Daniel Amartey and boss Slaven Bilic admitted he is likely to be a doubt for the game.

Sam Byram started training last week after an ankle problem, but was not in the squad for the 1-0 defeat at Leicester, while Gokhan Tore (knee), Reece Oxford (ankle) and Simone Zaza (knee) are unavailable.

United will be without Eric Bailly as he heads to the African Nations Cup.

United asked the Ivory Coast to allow the defender to join them 24 hours late but their appeal fell on deaf ears.

Michael Carrick has a chance of returning in midfield after missing the win over Middlesbrough with illness but Wayne Rooney is unlikely to be back from thigh trouble.
