Manchester United will be looking for a change of fortunes when they travel to the capital on Saturday.

The Red Devils have just one victory in their last six matches in all competitions, leaving them seventh in the division and six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.

However, Erik ten Hag's side did shown some impressive resistance with a depleted squad to earn a credible goalless draw against Liverpool.

They also boast a pretty good record against West Ham having won five of the last seven and two of their last three visits to the London Stadium.

The Hammers' exceptional run of seven wins in their last ten was abruptly halted by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

David Moyes' team lost 5-1, which is the second time in four matches that they've conceded five on the road having lost 5-0 to Fulham earlier this month.

I'm prepared to ignore West Ham's capitulation at Anfield during the week.

Liverpool simply clicked and manager David Moyes is still waiting for his first victory in this stadium after 21 visits. The Hammers have won only once in 60 years at Anfield -- so it wasn't entirely unexpected.

However, it's a different story for West Ham on home turf. They've won seven of their last ten at the London Stadium, scoring 2+ goals on seven occasions with four clean sheets.

Supporters will expected a big reaction to the midweek drubbing, and they'll likely get one against a depleted Manchester United.

United do have a good record in this meeting, but they have failed to score in three of their four Premier League games in December and could be vulnerable to West Ham's devastating counter-attacking style.

United have only won two of their last 12 league games in London and Moyes might relish the chance to put one over on his former employers.

Jarrod Bowen continues to be the main man at the London Stadium.

He's struck 12 goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances in all competitions - one behind his tally of 13 goals for the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign.

He's had double the number of efforts on goal than any of his West Ham colleagues with 44 and 22 of those were on target - averaging a shot every 33.5 minutes and a shot accuracy above 50%.

He's expected to add to that tally against Manchester United and their makeshift defence. Only lowly Luton Town have conceded more shots over the last four matches.

James Ward-Prowse is favourite with the bookies to provide an assist for a reason. The midfielder has 64 assists in his 446-match career, and a whopping nine of those have come for West Ham since his arrival.

The 29-year-old set-piece specialist has created 32 chances in 1412 minutes of league action this season, which leaves him ninth in the 'chances created' charts for all Premier League midfielders.

West Ham have had the fourth most chances from set plays this season, and could perhaps expect a few more on Saturday.
