Jose Mourinho takes his out of form Manchester United team to the London Stadium to face in-form West Ham as they bid to avoid falling too far behind their title rivals.
West Ham started this season so poorly that there had started to be speculations that Manuel Pellegrini would lose his job soon, but the Hammers have turned things around a little for themselves. Their goalless draw against Chelsea last weekend was the second time they had avoided defeat in as many games in the Premier League, and their 8-0 win over Macclesfield Town at the weekend means they are unbeaten in their last 3 competitive games, and they have scored 11 times and conceded just once.
Manchester United’s dressing room is currently divided following a power struggle between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba, and the results on the field haven’t helped the Portuguese tactician. The Red Devils were held 1-1 at home by Wolves at the weekend, and they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in midweek at home again after losing on penalties to Derby County following a 2-2 draw.
These two teams are desperate for results because of two different reasons, and this game would be an interesting one to watch out for.
