Manchester United’s charge for a Champions League place faces a fresh examination tonight as they visit West Ham United, aiming to extend a flawless run under new head coach Michael Carrick.
A fifth consecutive victory would see United overtake Aston Villa into third position in the Premier League, potentially for just 24 hours, and significantly strengthen their top-four credentials. Carrick’s side are the division’s form team, having taken 13 points from the last 15 available with four straight wins since his appointment.
Fixture Details
The match is scheduled for an 8.15pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, 10 February 2026 at the London Stadium.
In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT on TNT Sports 1. TNT Sports subscribers can also stream the contest live via the Discovery+ app and website. All the action can be followed through Standard Sport’s live blog.
Squad Updates
West Ham have virtually a clean bill of health, with only senior goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski absent due to a lower back injury. No return date has been set for the Pole.
Manchester United could name an unchanged starting eleven for the third match in succession. Bruno Fernandes is expected to operate behind a front three of Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha. Mbeumo has been passed fit after being seen limping following the win over Tottenham, though Mason Mount remains doubtful.
Preview and Odds
United are considered a shoo-in for a top-four finish having benefitted from the managerial change, with Carrick instilling confidence. However, facing a West Ham side struggling at the bottom of the table could represent his toughest test to date. West Ham performed well for an hour against Chelsea and have Crysencio Summerville, a player capable of posing problems for the United defence.
The historical record shows Manchester United have 74 wins to West Ham’s 50 in previous meetings.
Betfair’s match odds, which are subject to change, price West Ham at 7/2 to win, Manchester United at 7/10, and a draw at 16/5. The prediction is for a 2-2 draw.
