Carrick seeks fifth straight win at rejuvenated West Ham

Manchester United travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United in the 2024/25 Premier League gameweek 26 on Tuesday night.

West Ham claimed their fourth win from five games with a 2-0 victory over Burnley last time out in the Premier League.

United were also successful in their last Premier League outing, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at the weekend to maintain their fourth spot in the PL standings.

Match preview

West Ham United have won each of their last three home league games against Manchester United, last having a longer run between 1974 and 1977 (4).

Manchester United have lost four of their last six Premier League games against West Ham (W1 D1), more than they had in their previous 28 (W19 D6 L3).

The Hammers did the double over Manchester United last season and drew 1-1 at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture this season. Only once have they avoided defeat in both league meetings with the Red Devils in consecutive campaigns, doing so in 1932-33/1933-34.

The Irons have won just four of their last 20 home Premier League games (D4 L12), and three of those wins were against newly promoted sides (Leicester last season and Burnley and Sunderland this season). The Hammers have taken just six points from their last 16 home games against non-promoted sides (W1 D3 L12).

Having lost two of their first three Premier League away games this season, the Red Devils have now lost just one of their last nine on the road (W4 D4). They’ve also won their last two league games away at London sides, last winning three in a row in the capital in the same season in January/February 2019.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has scored three goals in his last five Premier League games against Manchester United, while no Hammers player has scored more against the Red Devils in the competition than Bowen (3).

Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 10 goals in his last eight away Premier League appearances (2 goals, 8 assists). His eight away assists this season are the joint most by a Red Devils player in a single season, along with Ryan Giggs in 2001/02.
