West Ham have won each of their last three home games against Manchester United, but are winless in 16 Premier League visits to Old Trafford, losing each of the last four, dating back to a famous Carlos Tevez winner on the final day of 2006/07 that saw the Hammers beat the drop.
Manchester United vs West Ham United preview
After booking their place in Bilbao on Thursday, can Manchester United start to build some momentum? On Thursday, 3-0 up from the first leg, the Red Devils place in the Europa League Final was never really in doubt, even if Old Trafford did get a bit nervy when Athletic took a shock first half lead.
Nevertheless, Man United ultimately got through in style, scoring four times in the final 18 minutes, with forgotten man Mason Mount bagging a brace, while Casemiro and Rasmus Højlund were also on target late on. Rúben Amorim's team will now face Tottenham at San Mamés in ten days time, with both silverware and a spot in next season's Champions League on the line.
Back in the Premier League, not that it'll matter all that much if they do triumph in the Europa League, the Red Devils are without a win in six, most-recently shipping four at Brentford last Sunday. So, amazingly, 41% of the points they have collected this season have come against the relegated clubs, hence why they remain 15th, on course for their lowest finish since being relegated in 1974.
Mikel Jauregizar's screamer on Thursday was the 40th goal Man United have conceded at Old Trafford this season, a new club-record, so will they enjoy a rare home victory come Sunday afternoon?
Well, they might do simply because West Ham United are equally hopeless, if not worse. Last Sunday, the Hammers were held to a 1-1 draw by fellow bottom six dwellers Spurs at the London Stadium, with Jarrod Bowen scoring a spectacular equaliser on an otherwise underwhelming afternoon in East London.
This means, since Graham Potter's appointment in January, the Irons have won only three of 15 league outings, currently without a victory in eight, so they actually kick off below their hosts. Now, can West Ham claim a memorable win at Old Trafford, in an otherwise forgettable campaign?

With their place in Bilbao secured, it's all about fine-tuning and preparing for the Europa League Final for Rúben Amorim. First and foremost, Lisandro Martínez, Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee remain sidelined, but there is some good news on the injury front.
Fit again Amad has come off the bench during the last three matches, hoping for some more minutes here, as Mason Mount will be, after scoring twice as a substitute on Thursday. Lastly, should Luke Shaw's name feature in the lineup, it'll be the first time since February 2024 that he has started three successive Premier League matches.

For Graham Potter, he continues to tinker, searching for a winning formulae. The Hammers remain without Edson Álvarez, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio, but he does have options.
Niclas Füllkrug returned to lead the line against Tottenham, but Potter is expected to go for the more fluid front two of Mohammed Kudus alongside Jarrod Bowen this time, with James Ward-Prowse thereby returning to midfield.
West Ham confirmed on Friday that Łukasz Fabiański, Vladimír Coufal, Aaron Cresswell and Danny Ings will all be released when their contracts expire this summer. Of the quartet, only Cresswell has featured much under Potter, starting last Sunday, but will Konstantinos Mavropanos get the nod this time?
