They now face a Manchester United side coming off of a defeat in the Champions League to Swiss champions Young Boys.

Manchester United:

Manchester United will miss Rashford through injury and Henderson through Covid-19. Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles, and McTominay will not be available because of a lack of match fitness.

United come into this game on the back of their defeat in the Champions League. Mistakes from Wan Bissaka and Jesse Lingard cost them the game that night.

However, they are unbeaten in the league and top the table. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in his debut for them last weekend. He is expected to start again against West Ham. Bruno Fernandes with four goals in the league is their top scorer.

Both sides will not want to lose their unbeaten start to their campaign. Meanwhile, they again meet each other on Wednesday night in a League Cup tie.
