50 minWest Ham level the scores in the 49th minute as Anderson fires home at the far post following a deep cross from Lanzini. The Hammers certainly deserve to be level here.

6.27pmBENCH WATCH! Antonio, Obiang and Fredericks are amongst those on the West Ham bench tonight, but there is no Arnautovic in the 18. Man United, meanwhile, have options in the shape of Rashford, Pereira and Mason Greenwood, who will be desperate to play a part.
6.22pmSTATISTICS! West Ham actually had more of the ball in the first period - 57% - while they had seven attempts during a productive opening 45 minutes. Man United, meanwhile, managed 10 attempts, but just one of those - Pogba's penalty - was on target. Also just the one yellow card to report with Juan Mata picking up a booking for a very late challenge on Mark Noble.
6.17pmSo there we have it. The referee brings the first period to a close with United leading 1-0 courtesy of a penalty from Pogba. West Ham are unfortunate to be behind, though, with the Hammers having a number of opportunities to find the back of the net at Old Trafford.

17 minLingard flashes a low cross into the United box following smart work from Lukaku, but there are no takers. Much, much better from the 20-time English champions, though.
16 minWest Ham are off once again following poor work from Martial, but Pogba does really well to get back and make the clearance. The home side have been sloppy in the first 16 minutes.
14 minLukaku is next to deliver a cross into the United box, but it goes over everyone and West Ham can resume from the dead-ball line. Slightly better from the home side in the last few minutes.
12 minDalot delivers a cross straight into the arms of the waiting Fabianski.
10 minAnderson strikes home for West Ham, but the offside flag is raised! It was very, very tight, but the linesman was sure. The home side have got away with one there, that's for sure.
10 minMartial attempts to find a pass into Mata, but Rice is on hand to make the clearance. Rice will be very important for the visitors if they are to pick up a positive result. United have not shown too much invention in the first 10 minutes, which will be disappointing for Solskjaer.
10 minSnodgrass has been nice and bright for West Ham in the first 10 minutes here, with the Scot picking up a lot of space. The home side, on the other hand, are struggling to get going!
8 minHernandez picks up the ball just inside his own half and has the chance to slide Anderson through, but Jones does really well to make the block. The opening eight minutes of this match have flown past and West Ham have had some good counter-attacking moments thus far.
6 minDalot has a cross deflected behind as United show their attacking intent. The corner comes into the West Ham box from Mata, but West Ham clear their lines through Ogbonna.
4 minNot too much going forward from the home side in these early moments, and there is not too much of an atmosphere inside the stadium when considering how big a match this is.
2 minMasuaku strikes over the United goal from outside the box.
2 min... United will travel to Camp Nou on Tuesday night, but must first negotiate this match. West Ham deliver an early free kick into the home side's box, but Martial clears his lines.
0 minWest Ham kick things off here...
5.29pmFor all of the praise that has come United's way in recent months, the Red Devils have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions and will be desperate to return to winning ways here!
5.28pmAs for West Ham, Javier Hernandez will lead the line against his former club with Marko Arnautovic left out altogether. Mark Noble skippers the Hammera from the middle of the park, while Manuel Lanzini keeps his spot in attack despite struggling to make his mark against Chelsea. Andy Carroll and Samir Nasri are amongst those still on the sidelines for Manuel Pellegrini's side.
5.27pmWith Luke Shaw and Ashley Young both suspended, there is an incredibly rare start for Marcos Rojo for Man United. Elsewhere, Phil Jones, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial all come into the XI following the defeat to Barcelona on Wednesday night. Changes all round!
5.26pmMAN UNITED: De Gea; Dalot, Jones, Smalling, Rojo; Mata, Fred, Pogba; Lingard, Lukaku, Martial
WEST HAM: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Balbuena, Masuaku; Rice, Noble, Snodgrass; Lanzini, Hernandez, Anderson
