Manchester United FC will be looking to take advantage in the top-four race in the Premier League after Leicester dropped points. The Red Devils have their 19-game unbeaten streak broken and will look to get back to winning ways against the Hammers. United have a golden opportunity to reach the top-four in the league table with a win against West Ham.
United lost against Chelsea last night in the semi-final of the FA Cup with a score-line of 3-1. The Red Devils played poorly against Chelsea and another De Gea mistake made it worse for Manchester United. But, with Leicester losing against Tottenham, the Foxes lead United only through goals scored, as both teams are equal on points and goal difference.
On the other hand, the Hammers have been good lately and are now out of the relegation race with a couple of victories. Michail Antonio is amongst the goals and has scored in consecutive games for the Hammers. The last time these sides locked horns, the Hammers won against United 2-0, with Yarmolenko and Cresswell scoring the goals.

TEAM NEWS
Luke Shaw hasn’t played the last two games for the Red Devils after being subbed off against Southampton. Eric Bailly was injured against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final and will be out of contention against the Hammers. Brandon Williams played against Chelsea but looked out of sorts after coming back from a short-term injury.
West Ham are without any notable absentees from this game, as the Hammers look to make it a double against the Red Devils. David Moyes will be looking to take revenge against his former employers and should field his best possible side. The Hammers will try to take some points from Chelsea on how to play United and probably will implement the same strategy.
