West Ham United vs Manchester United
David Moyes is winless in his last 10 Premier League games against former employers Manchester United, losing eight including the last five in a row. His last win against them was with Everton in August 2012, but he's in a good position to record his first victory in over a decade here.

Both players are finally back on their feet having completed the necessary concussion checks, and after Soucek and Wan-Bissaka are each cleared to continue playing, we're back underway.

The medical buggy is out on the pitch, and with both Wan-Bissaka and Soucek still down, we may be seeing a stretcher required for both players.

CHANCE! Sabitzer's cross from the short corner is headed back across goal by Lindelof, but Fabianski comes out to punch, denying Wan-Bissaka a free header in the process, before being clattered by the United right-back. Wan-Bissaka stays down, as does Soucek whose head got caught in the middle of that challenge.

SAVED! Fernandes' ball into the box is flicked on by Sabizter into the path of Rashford, whose early shot from the right is tipped over the bar by Fabianski!

Paqueta has been involved in four goals in his last four home games for West Ham in all competitions with two goals and assists apiece, with this figure double the amount he had in his first 16 appearances at the London Stadium.

BALL IN THE NET!! The Hammers are denied a second! A Cresswell corner is palmed out of the goalmouth by De Gea, but that doesn't put West Ham off. They patiently build their chance and Paqueta's superb cross finds Soucek, who crashes a bullet header off the near post and into the back of the net! The flag's up though, with Soucek a fraction offside, and the Czech midfielder has his head in his hands knowing that he didn't need to be.

Rice makes a brilliant run down the left wing and cuts inside to shoot from the edge of the box, but Antony has tracked back and deflects the West Ham captain's effort behind for a corner.
