7M - Match Preview: West Ham United vs Manchester United - Predictions, Team News, Lineups

The London Stadium prepares for an exciting Premier League clash on Tuesday night as West Ham United takes on Manchester United, both teams showing promising signs of resurgence.

West Ham aims for their fifth win in six matches after securing a 2-0 victory over Burnley, while Manchester United achieved a similar scoreline against 10-man Tottenham Hotspur.

Match Analysis

Manchester United's revival under interim manager Michael Carrick continued impressively on Saturday, as they maintained their hold on the fourth position. Benefiting from a familiar red card to Tottenham's captain Cristian Romero, United opened the scoring with a well-executed corner routine from Bryan Mbeumo, followed by a late goal from Bruno Fernandes.

With four consecutive wins, Carrick's side has not only stayed ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool but is now just three points behind third-placed Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification. The attacking prowess has been remarkable, with United scoring at least twice in every game since Carrick took charge. They have not gone a match without scoring in 14 consecutive outings, their only blank coming in a home loss to Everton in November, and only one of their last nine away games has resulted in defeat.

On the other hand, West Ham has turned their fortunes around, amassing nine points from the last 12 available in the league. Their recent 2-0 win over Burnley was bolstered by first-half goals from Crysencio Summerville and new signing Taty Castellanos, as they aim to secure safety from relegation.

Despite the positive momentum, West Ham has struggled at home, winning only one of their last 16 Premier League matches against teams that competed in the top flight the previous season. Interestingly, during their last three encounters at the London Stadium, Manchester United has come away with victories.

Prediction: West Ham United 1-2 Manchester United
