West Ham United will be looking to cause a shock upset in the fifth round of the FA Cup when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
The Hammers go into the game off the back of a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday to move them two points clear of the relegation zone, recording their biggest win of the season in all competitions in the process.
For West Ham, it will see them play a United side who in their last game, lifted the Carabao Cup trophy on Sunday after a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium.
Irons boss David Moyes will be without at least three players for the game. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (fractured cheekbone/eye-socket) and right-back Vladimir Coufal (heel) were both forced off against Forest through injury. Striker Danny Ings is also cup-tied for the game.
Moyes will also be forced to make late calls over winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) and centre-back Kurt Zouma (thigh). Cornet has missed exactly five months, while Zouma has missed just over a month, although both were pictured in training on Tuesday.
