Manchester United welcomes West Ham to Old Trafford on Sunday as positive vibes are starting to surround both teams once again.

The Belgian star, 31, arrived at Chelsea from Werder Bremen at the age of 22 and managed only 425 in a half-season before being offloaded to Wolfsburg. Left-sided beauty leads to intriguing off-kilter viewing (Fulham 0-0 Everton): Rarely do you see a contest featuring such a stark contrast between where attacks are finding their joy. Stunning goals lead to split between Bees, Wolves (Brentford 1-1 Wolves): Quality scoring chances were largely few and far between at the Gtech Community Stadium, but a pair of stunning goals made up for the dearth of danger, as the Bees and Wolves settled on a 1-1 draw in west London on Saturday. Palace goes to Plan B when Plan Z is off (Crystal Palace 1-0 Southampton): Odsonne Edouard has scored all three of his goals this season in Crystal Palace’s last six games, during which time he also has a game-winning assist, as the Eagles work out an alternate plan to “give the ball to Wilfried Zaha, hope he can beat four defenders and put the ball in the top corner.” It’s hardly revolutionary or genius stuff from Patrick Vieira, but Palace has found lots of joy in simply crossing the ball into the box, with Edouard crashing through the middle and Eberechi Eze arriving late for cut-backs while Zaha and Andre Ayew/Michael Olise head for the back post. Man City without Haaland in 2022-23 looks unsurprisingly like Man City 2021-22 (Leicester 0-1 Man City): With all due respect to Man City’s monstrous team and the huge potential of Julian Alvarez, Saturday was a throwback to Man City’s title-winning 2021-22 season. No, the club is decidedly not reminding anyone of the SIr Alex Ferguson era in terms of quality, but the pride and strength of will sure look something closer to what we remember from the Red Devils when they were one of the finest teams in the world (and one of most dreaded to compete against over 90 minutes). Harry Maguire a big part of Man Utd’s brave finish vs West Ham (Man Utd 1-0 West Ham): Erik ten Hag has changed the attitude at Old Trafford. Chelsea needs a break, Seagulls quite comfortable (Brighton 4-1 Chelsea): Brighton still needs a center forward to achieve its potential, but everything else looks as it did under Graham Potter and that’s a good thing. Feel-good Nelson flexes depth after Saka injury (Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest): Wrestling fans know about the full nelson and the half-nelson, now football fans can have the feel-good Nelson. One is Antonio Conte’s continued insistence on playing out of the back and defending far too deep in Spurs’ own half of the field (discussed here and here). Leeds are one of the toughest teams in the PL to beat, and typically those teams see losses turn to draws and draws turn to losses with a bit of patience*. Brave Man Utd stands strong: Erik ten Hag has changed the attitude at Old Trafford.

"Erik ten Hag has confirmed Harry Maguire is only starting the game because Victor Lindelof is ill. Raphael Varane is obviously out injured. Antony also misses ...

Since then it has become such an essential element of the club’s identity that managers are expected to ensure there is always a representation of youth. Intriguingly the club itself was unaware of the level of long-lasting consistency in its selection policy until it was uncovered in 2010. "Good to have Bowen back, has had a kick on the ankle but ok. The high point of Fergie’s Fledglings was the Class of 92, the Youth Cup winning side featuring Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers that went on to be both the core and conscience of his teams for more than a decade. The purpose of MUJAC was economic as much as sentimental; it was designed to save a club, that had only recently faced bankruptcy, money by rooting out the best young talent early, thus reducing the requirement of heavy transfer fees. Across over 4,000 consecutive matches in the league, cup and European competitions, there has always been at least one graduate of the United youth system, writes Jim White. "We want to win the next five games. Lovely cross for the goal from Eriksen, and a splendid header from Marcus Rashford, giving him 100 goals for United. Scamacca is already on a yellow and probably lucky that the ref gives him the benefit of the doubt. Scamacca sweeps the ball forward and the visitors break. In front of the watching England manager Gareth Southgate it was Marcus Rashford who gave Manchester United a deserved half-time lead against West Ham. Eriksen controls the ball on his chest, looks up, measures out a gorgeous cross from the right and Rashford gets a mighty run on the full-back Kehrer.

The Red Devils took four points from games against Tottenham Hotspur and Graham Potter's side last week before easing to a UEFA Europa League win at home to ...

Instead, plenty of focus will likely be on Maguire, and whether he can now have a run in the team prior to the World Cup, while Raphael Varane is sidelined. Manchester United have won the past four league games against West Ham, including this fixture last season, when Marcus Rashford scored in the dying moments to secure a 1-0 win. 75 mins to KO: West Ham are on a four-game losing run in the top flight against United, although the most recent three of those defeats all came by a single goal. 5 mins to KO: We're just a few minutes from kickoff here, at what will be United's final home game in the league before the World Cup. United's attackers are all dropping deep and trying to run beyond the West Ham defence at the moment. Eriksen played a one-two with Fernandes and crossed the ball towards the far post from the left. They're letting the hosts have the ball in their half, as long as it's far from the box. The cross from the left-back drops to Elanga at the far post, who controls the ball and volleys it... 31 mins: West Ham have had most of the ball for the past few minutes, but again, they're not creating much with it. He then catches Martinez on the back of the head with his studs as he tries to win the rebound, but no card is shown. 90+4 mins: Areola is up for the corner, which United clear to the edge of the box... 67 mins: Ten Hag's men have taken back control of the game in recent minutes and they're probing for a second goal.

His stats hint that there’s more to come, as ‘KDB’ is creating a gaudy 3.77 chances per 90 minutes. Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah, and Eden Hazard have also won the award, which is only five years old. The Belgian star, 31, arrived at Chelsea from Werder Bremen at the age of 22 and managed only 425 in a half-season before being offloaded to Wolfsburg. That’s tied for fifth all-time with Dennis Bergkamp, 71 behind record holder Ryan Giggs. Alan Shearer put up 47 over 42, while Thierry Henry holds the 38-game record with 44. Moyes has plenty of options in attack including Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini, and Pablo Fornals off the bench.

There seemed to be little danger as Dalot took a throw-in on the right, but Eriksen plays a lovely one-two with Fernandes and then whips a cross towards the back post. 52 mins: It’s been a scrappy start to the second half. 57 mins: Dalot again gets his head to a cross first – impressive work, but both times he’s been in the area that should be marshalled by Maguire. Speaking of felines, a certain West Ham defender would surely be given the lead in Dick Whittington and His Cat.” 72 mins: Luke Shaw nutmegs Soucek, who hauls the left-back down and gets a booking for his trouble. At the other end, Casemiro clips Benrahma and West Ham will have a chance to punish them. 74 mins: Ronaldo drops deeper to collect the ball, turns and sees an ambitious shot blocked. “The spirit we have is fabulous, we have the quality to score goals. Lisandro Martínez and Diogo Dalot were excellent, and Harry Maguire held his own on his return to the team. West Ham win the ball back from the corner and Cresswell’s cross is met at the near post by Zouma. On his return to form this season, he adds: “It’s a completely different energy around the whole club [this season], and I feel more motivated now. The moment for Fred was there, when he hit the post.” He is also not keen to discuss Harry Maguire in detail: “The team do their job – defend the goal – together, as a back four but also, the team defend as 11 players.”

But we are going in the direction, but being a threat is a long way to go." Marcus Rashford scored his fourth Premier League goal for Manchester United against West Ham, scoring in both games against them in 2022. We gave the ball away a bit too much and that led to Man United's goal but overall we played well. The fans like it as well and you can see the bond that is coming and developing between the teams and the fans. So he's really representing the work of Man United and it values the good work that the academy is doing. At the start, it was difficult but we are coming more and more to that point.
