United hunt fifth straight win to crack the top three, but resurgent Hammers stand in the way | OneFootball

Manchester United travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United in their next Premier League fixture tomorrow.

The Red Devils arrive in London in red-hot form under Michael Carrick, a run that has reignited their season and propelled them up the Premier League table.

United are unbeaten in their last five league matches. They are the only side to have won each of their last four games in a row alongside Chelsea.

That sequence has lifted them to the top of the form table, a remarkable turnaround that has also left them just three points behind Aston Villa.

Their latest success came against Tottenham Hotspur, where a familiar red card for Cristian Romero eased the path to a controlled 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

That win followed an equally impressive 3-2 away triumph over Arsenal, underlining United’s growing confidence on their travels.

Despite that result, United sit only seventh in the away table, a reminder that consistency on the road remains the next hurdle in Carrick’s revival.

They will attempt to address that against a West Ham side whose own resurgence has added intrigue to Tuesday night’s contest.

West Ham are fourth in the form table, having taken significant strides in their battle against relegation over recent weeks.

Their recovery continued last time out with a return to winning ways following a narrow defeat to Chelsea, restoring belief after that brief setback.

The numbers remain unconvincing at the London Stadium, with West Ham ranked 19th in the home table and still searching for sustained form.

Their most recent home outing brought a confidence-boosting 3–1 win over Sunderland, a result that demonstrated their ability to seize opportunities when presented.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been far more resilient, energetic and direct in recent matches, traits that suggest United will not be handed anything easily.

Recent form suggests a compelling contest, statistics hint at unpredictability, and recent results on both sides point towards an open, competitive evening.

With both teams carrying confidence and incentive, the London Stadium appears set to host one of the more absorbing Premier League encounters of the midweek round.
