Can Manchester United win Five Premier League matches in a Row against West Ham Today?

Whisper it quietly at the Theatre of Dreams, but Manchester United's dreams are just 90 minutes from something they haven't managed in over two years, five straight Premier League wins.

Michael Carrick's interim spell has injected life into a squad that looked adrift under Ruben Amorim and tonight's clash at West Ham could be the cherry on top. Hammers are scrapping for survival, and United's away form has been patchy at best.

United sit fourth in the table after 25 games with 12 wins. They're chasing that Champions League spot, only three points behind third-placed Aston Villa. The recent wins coming against Arsenal away, smashing City in the derby, edging Fulham at home, and a solid 2-0 over Spurs last weekend. Clean sheets, brilliant attacks,

and that old United spirit is back!

Man Utd's recent burst of form

Flash back to those recent scalps: a gritty 3-2 at Arsenal, ending the Gunners' unbeaten home run; a dominant 2-0 Manchester derby over City; a nervy 3-2 over Fulham at home; and Saturday's 2-0 dismantling of Spurs. Carrick's switched things up, restoring confidence with a balanced midfield pivot of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo. The results? Four clean sheets in five, and a team that suddenly remembers how to grind out wins.

Survival at stake for the Hammers

West Ham won't be a push over. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are three points above the drop zone after a 2-0 win at Burnley, and they've got history here - unbeaten in this fixture since February 2024, with United scoring just twice in that span. The Irons have lost four of their last six to United overall, but at the London Stadium? It's a fortress for them against the Reds lately.

Expected Manchester United Starting XI (4-2-3-1):

• GK: Senne Lammens

• DEF: Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro MartÍnez, Luke Shaw

• MID: Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo

• ATT: Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha

• ST: Bryan Mbeumo

Carrick is likely to keep the same winning team. Mbeumo is fit after a knock, Bruno is pulling strings, and young stars like Mainoo and Amad are shining. Injuries to Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt is likely to keep them out, but the core is strong.

The Hair Cut Challenge

The fun part of this streak is the viral haircut challenge! Fan Frank Ilett (The United Strand) hasn't cut his hair since October 2024 - over 490 days now, hair over 25cm long! He promised to have no trim until United win five in a row. Four down, one to go. If United win tonight, Frank finally gets his haircut. What a story from despair to hope, just like Man United!

Come on United! Watch it live, share the vibes, and let's see if Frank gets that chop. GGMU - make us proud!
