Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 West Ham United.
Manchester United and West Ham have been brilliant with their forward play but both have been missing key players for a while.
This contest is expected to be a close-knit affair and we expect the home side to edge it with the odd goal in three courtesy the factor of Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese has been the player of the season for the Red Devils with 16 goals and 10 assists and his creativity and movements will be tough for the Hammers to contain.
The Hammers are also expected to give a strong fight to the Red Devils.
Players to watch out for: Bruno, Shaw, Diallo, Antonio, Soucek and Rice.
