The 23rd day of the Premier League continues with Manchester United welcoming West Ham to Old Trafford (Kick-off 3 p.m., match to follow on FM). Undefeated in 2024 (three wins and a draw), the Red Devils are coming off a success at the end of added time in Wolverhampton (4-3) on Thursday, but only occupy 8th place with 35 pts.

For this meeting, Erik Ten Hag has three absentees (Malacia, Martial and Mount) and confirms, with one exception, the victorious eleven on Thursday at Wolves.
