he London Stadium hosts a fascinating Premier League scrap between two rejuvenated outfits on Tuesday night, when West Ham United welcome Manchester United to the capital.
The Irons seek a fifth win from
six games in midweek after Saturday’s 2-0 triumph over Burnley, shortly after the Red Devils bested 10-man Tottenham Hotspur by the same scoreline.
Not only are Tuesday’s visitors still ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool in the race for fourth, they have cut the gap to third-placed Aston Villa to just three points and are firmly in control of the race for Champions League football.
the Red Devils have now found the back of the net in each of their last 14 matches in all tournaments – last drawing a blank in November’s home loss to Everton – and only one of their last nine on the road has ended in defeat.
In terms of United’s fitness situation after Saturday’s win, as Patrick Dorgu (thigh), Mason Mount (unspecified) and Matthijs de Ligt (back) remain out for the Red Devils.
The tight turnaround may lead Carrick to consider a couple of changes – Benjamin Sesko and Noussair Mazraoui would be first in line – but the lack of European football should mean that all of Saturday’s starters are ready to go again.
Now sitting on 200 goal involvements for the 20-time English champions, Bruno Fernandes is on the verge of making more history; the Portugal international has set up eight Premier League goals away from home this season and needs just one more to break the Man Utd record for a single campaign, currently sitting level with Ryan Giggs’s octet from 2001-02.
