Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The Hammers have been very hit and miss since Julen Lopetegui replaced David Moyes as boss in summer and the Spanish head coach is seeking just a third league win of the season, with West Ham 16th at the start of play.
Man United, meanwhile, continue their erratic underachievement under Erik ten Hag and drew a third straight Europa League match in midweek - they sit 13th ahead of kick-off and can move to only eighth if they take the three points for only a second time in an away game this term.

Ten Hag has made three changes himself after the visitors’ 1-1 draw with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in midweek, with Victor Lindelof, Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte all dropping to the subs bench as Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund and captain Bruno Fernandes all return to the XI.

Julen Lopetegui makes four changes to his Hammers side in the wake of their 4-1 drubbing by Spurs, one of which is enforced after Mohammed Kudus’ red card late in that defeat. Lukasz Fabianski displaces Alphonse Areola between the sticks, while Carlos Soler, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Edson Alvarez all come in for Kudus, Jean-Clair Todibo and Tomas Soucek respectively.

West Ham United vs Manchester United
Manchester United sit just three points and three places above West Ham in the table, after a similarly underwhelming start to the campaign for Erik ten Hag’s men. The Red Devils have already suffered heavy home losses to Liverpool and Spurs, but snapped a four-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Brentford last time out.

The 16th-placed Irons haven’t had the start they’d hoped for under Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard’s side winning just two of their first eight games and losing four, including a 4-1 humbling by Tottenham Hotspur in last weekend’s London derby.
