West Ham United vs. Manchester United preview, kick-off time and team news

London Stadium will stage a pivotal mid-week Premier League encounter on Tuesday, 10 February, as West Ham United welcome Manchester United for an 8:15 pm GMT kick-off. The 60,000-capacity venue is expected to generate a raucous atmosphere with both managers eager to extend positive recent form.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s West Ham enter the match buoyed by back-to-league results, yet must cope without two key figures. Centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo serves a suspension, while veteran goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański remains sidelined through injury. The Portuguese coach acknowledged “minor knocks” elsewhere in the squad but declined to elaborate on further absentees, leaving the door open for potential late fitness tests.

Across the capital, interim boss Michael Carrick has guided Manchester United to a sequence of league victories, lifting confidence ahead of the short trip east. The visitors will, however, make the journey without Mason Mount, whose return to training is reportedly imminent but not imminent enough for inclusion. Defensive linchpin Matthijs de Ligt and teenage full-back Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu are also ruled out, with Carrick indicating De Ligt’s recovery lags behind Mount’s.

With European qualification hopes intensifying, three points are at a premium. West Ham’s patched-up rearguard must contend with United’s in-form attack, while the Hammers will look to exploit any uncertainty in a reshuffled visiting defence. Neutral observers anticipate a tight affair, and the early-season projection tips Manchester United to edge it 2-1.

Broadcast details remain unconfirmed, yet supporters worldwide will monitor team sheets closely as both clubs seek momentum heading into the season’s decisive stretch.
