West Ham enter this match after a 1-1 draw at the hands of West Bromwich Albion in front of their home fans. The Upton Park outfit are not enjoying a great run in recent times as they are without a win in the last four matches.

Slaven Bilic will have an eye on sealing a victory over United, who are undefeated at home in the league this season. Injuries to key players have also not helped the London side's cause as they will have a tough task to beat the Old Trafford club on Saturday.

What managers say

Slaven Bilic: "They are winning and not conceding goals. Somebody said they are boring but I am not sure why people are saying this. They are keeping the ball, they are not a team who give you the ball and defend – you can say that this kind of football is sometimes boring."
