West Ham vs Manchester United live: Score and latest updates from Premier League today – UK Times

Both sides are just trying to settle into things at the moment, with both guilty of giving the ball away too easily on a couple of occasions.

United edging possession but no chances for either side so far.

A bit of a mix-up in the United defence as Maguire fails to clear originally, before Bowen wins a corner.

It’s punched away by Lammens.

Some early touches for United, ending with Cunha clipping a through ball straight out of play.

We’re underway in the capital! The visitors get us started in this one.

Both sides are emerging from the tunnel at the London Stadium, so we’ll be underway soon!

“We want to be a team, we want to play together and have good connections. That’s the important thing,” says Michael Carrick ahead of kick-off.

“Individuals need to express themselves and play to their strengths, but we’ve got a lot of work to do.

“We’re not getting carried away, we know this is a tough game, but we’ve got a lot of confidence.

“There are loads of things we can improve on, we never want to be standing still. We’ll keep working, but we’ll take the positives from recent weeks,” he adds as he finishes.

West Ham have won just four of their last 20 home Premier League games (D4 L12), and three of those wins were against newly promoted sides.

Having lost two of their first three Premier League away games this season, Manchester United have now lost just one of their last nine on the road (W4 D4).

Here is what Nuno Espirito Santo has to say to TNT Sports ahead of kick-off:

“We are organised, and we are competing better. We need to be committed, organised and enjoy the game.” he says.

“We are able to put more bodies in the box. We know our wingers are full of talent. We start with three in the middle and let’s see how the game goes.

On United, he explains: “They’ve been doing really well, we can see by the results, the way they play, they have threats all over the pitch. And they have a player that can unbalance anyone in Bruno Fernandes, so we have to be really spot on.”

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

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).
