Team News and Lineup Changes Ahead of West Ham vs. Manchester United Clash
West Ham United:
Michail Antonio remains sidelined due to a long-term knee problem, while Nayef Aguerd and Maxwel Cornet are expected to make their return after recovering from illness. Head coach David Moyes plans to make several changes to the lineup that faced Liverpool in the EFL Cup, with Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse, Kurt Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson Palmieri, and Lukasz Fabianski all set to return. Mohammed Kudus, in excellent form with five Premier League goals this season, is expected to feature in the final third alongside Paqueta and Bowen.
Manchester United:
Captain Bruno Fernandes is set to make a comeback after serving a suspension, potentially leading to Sofyan Amrabat moving to the bench, and Scott McTominay taking a deeper role. Several key players, including Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, and Amad Diallo, remain unavailable for selection. Victor Lindelof is out due to a minor operation, but Anthony Martial is likely to return to the squad after recovering from illness. Christian Eriksen is back in training and may have an outside chance of making the squad, while Diogo Dalot is suspended. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will feature at right-back, and the attacking lineup may see Antony and Alejandro Garnacho supporting Rasmus Hojlund, who is still in search of his first Premier League goal. Marcus Rashford's wait for a league start could continue in this matchup. The dynamic changes in both lineups add an element of unpredictability to the upcoming West Ham vs. Manchester United clash.
