Manchester United travel south to face West ham United on Sunday night, with a crucial Premier League fixture as they hope to avoid more dropped points and move a step closer Champions League football.
A late Luke Shaw handball saw Brighton awarded a penalty in United's last match on Thursday night, with Alexis Mac Allister converting the spot kick in the 97th minute. This was United's first league defeat in five matches, with four wins and a draw since April 2nd's loss to Newcastle.
They now face a West Ham side who, after three defeats in a row, are in danger of slipping back into the relegation battle at the bottom of the league. they are now just four points clear of the drop zone, with crucial matches against Leeds and Leicester to come in their remaining four fixtures.
The stakes are raised for both sides, with a point probably a good result for both in their respective fights at either end of the table. However, with a fantastic atmosphere expected at the London Stadium, there is little chance of either settling for a draw.
