West Ham v Manchester United - Preview and possible line-ups

Manchester United

The Red Devils find themselves in need of just one point in order to cement their place as the Premier League's 'best of the rest.' After losing 1-0 to Brighton on Friday night, United will be determined to bounce back and end their season with a set of wins. 

Alexis Sanchez and Phil Jones are back in the mix for United but Romelu Lukaku is sidelined with an ankle injury. Marouane Fellaini (muscle complaint) is unlikely to feature. 

West Ham 

Despite back-to-back 4-1 losses, the Hammers booked themselves another season in England's top flight by defeating Leicester 2-0 on Saturday. They go into this tie the underdogs, but with the pressure off, anything is possible. 

After sustaining a knee injury, Javier Hernandez will not line-up against his former club. Pedro Obiang and James Collins are doubts whilst Michail Antonio is out with a long-term hamstring problem.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho:

"We need a point to finish second. We need a point to say that only one team was better than us, we need a point to say that 18 teams were not as good as us. We need a point to prove that."

West Ham boss David Moyes: 

"I could only ever say good things about Manchester United. I respect the club so much. It's such a good football club. I think we would rather not be playing them after they've suffered a defeat, but we will do everything we can to win and play well."
