West Ham will be without Michail Antonio (hamstring) after he picked up the injury during their win over Aston Villa on Monday. But Andriy Yarmolenko has returned to training following illness.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful Marcus Rashford (shoulder) can be part of his squad, despite injury forcing him off in midweek. Luke Shaw (hamstring) remains absent.

Did you know?

West Ham United have won their last two Premier League home matches against Manchester United. They have not won three in a row at home against the Red Devils in the top flight since a run of four between January 1974 and December 1977. 

West Ham have scored the opening goal in five consecutive PL contests, their longest such sequence since March 2006. Only in April 2002 have the Hammers previously scored the opening goal in more consecutive matches in the competition (a run of seven). 

Man Utd have won their last eight PL away matches, their longest such winning streak in their league history. They are now looking to win their first five matches on the road in a single league campaign for the first time since 1985/86. 

Bruno Fernandes has scored in his last five PL away matches. The last player to score in six consecutive away league appearances for the Red Devils was Denis Law in March 1964.
