Manchester United are struggling to string a run of wins together since the three claimed at the start of the campaign. Given the close nature of the title race, a repeat of this could move José Mourinho’s side into the upper echelons. For West Ham even a single victory would be welcome: their last in the Premier League was over a month ago, when Sunderland were beaten 1-0 on 22 October. Jamie Jackson
