Hammers looking for response against Red Devils
West Ham are looking to get back on track against Manchester United in the Premier League this afternoon.
The Hammers entered the international break with a 4-1 win over Ipswich but were beaten by the same scoreline by Tottenham last time out.
It means a frustrating and rather underwhelming start to the season continues for Julen Lopetegui.
Erik ten Hag, meanwhile, saw his side come from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 last time out before drawing 1-1 away at Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
West Ham vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off time today, Sunday, October 27,2024.
The London Stadium will host.

The Hammers will be without Mohammed Kudus following his red card against Spurs, while Niclas Fullkrug remains a doubt after an injury-hit start to his career with the club.
Ten Hag saw Antony stretchered off on Thursday and will likely be without the Brazilian for the trip to the capital. Ten Hag is hopeful Jonny Evans will return for the trip to London.
The Red Devils will be without Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw, while Antony joins them in the treatment room after coming off against Fenerbahce.

West Ham have quite a good record without Kudus, but his absence will be felt, while United may have largely underwhelmed this season they do not concede many on the road.
Lopetegui will clearly demand a reaction and Ten Hag’s side don’t always convince, so a draw does not feel out of the question.
Draw, 1-1.
West Ham wins: 48
Draws: 32
Man Utd wins: 74
West Ham to win: 15/8
Draw: 27/10
Man United to win: 13/10
