This will be a test of Manchester United’s focus following the celebrations of their Carabao Cup triumph 3 days ago. Changes are expected from the team that started against the Magpies at Wembley but a strong lineup wouldn't be a surprise as we have come to expect strong team selections from Erik ten Hag.

United, who will face Liverpool at Anfield by weekend, have to get past the Hammers in order to keep their quadruple hopes alive.

So they'll look to build on the momentum they worked with in February after victories against two of the best defences in Europe this season (Newcastle and Barcelona)

Erik ten Haag’s men will still be without French striker, Anthony Martial, as well as other long term injury doubts, Christian Eriksen and Donny Van de Beek.

The manager also revealed in his press conference on Tuesday that Fred and Luke Shaw will also have to be monitored before a decision will be made on their involvement for the game.

Marcus Rashford is fit and the returns of Antony and Scott McTominay means that the manager has more players at his disposal than he has had in the last 2 weeks.

A win will be order for the Red Devils, but it must be noted that West Ham are no pushovers.

West Ham United will be without veteran goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski, and defender, Vladimir Coufal; both of whom got injured in their win against Nottingham Forest.

Another absentee for the Hammers will be Danny Ings (cup-tied following involvement at Aston Villa).

Fabianski is ruled out of the clash at Old Trafford

Question marks have also been raised about the availability of Maxwell Cornet and Kurt Zouma, but the rest of the team are ready and available according to former United manager, David Moyes.
