It’s a battle at the bottom of the Premier League table at Old Trafford later today as Manchester United hosts West Ham.
Having secured a place in the Europa League final in midweek, where they will meet Tottenham in Bilbao later this month, United’s priorities will be lying elsewhere, with Ruben Amorim likely to not want to risk some of his stars for the remainder of the league campaign.
That could open the door for West Ham to leapfrog its opponent today, with Graham Potter’s side sitting just two points behind in 17th. With no threat of relegation for either side now, there is very little riding on today’s encounter.
Here’s all you need to know in order to be able to watch the match…

Early team news
United remains without a host of players, with the hosts’ defensive options looking particularly depleted.
Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven, Toby Collyer and Diogo Dalot are all expected to be missing at Old Trafford today. Harry Maguire, meanwhile, is a doubt after picking up a knock, and with Europa League final to think about, Amorim may be reluctant to start the England international.
As for the visitors, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio are both out, but West Ham otherwise has a fully fit squad as it looks to leapfrog today’s opponent in the Premier League table.
