West Ham United 0-2 Manchester United: Premier League as it happened

Six wins in six for Jose Mourinho's side; they are now just a point off the Champions League places.

Full-time: West Ham United 0-2 Manchester United

The London Stadium is practically empty already.

Ibrahimovic stands over the free kick but can only hammer it into the wall.

United are cruising towards the final whistle here; they now have a free kick on the edge of the box after Ibrahimovic's dinked pass is deliberately handled by Reid.

United almost have a third! Rashford has been sensational since coming off the bench, he again comes in from the left and stands a superb ball up for Herrera who is breaking into the box. He volleys on goal, but Randolph gets down well to keep it out.

United have their second, but it is another very poor decision. It's a sweet connection from Ibrahimovic as he hammers past Randolph, but he was stood offside when the ball broke to him. Even Zlatan knew it, immediately looking across to the linesman as the ball hit the back of the net but the flag stayed down.

Goal! West Ham United 0-2 Manchester United (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 76)

On the break, Ibrahimovic threads a ball through for Rashford who has little choice but to his a shot first time. It's a comfortable save for Randolph, but he then lets it squirm through behind him, rolling off the inside of the post!

Valencia comes crashing through the back of Carroll and picks up a yellow card for himself.

A whisker away from Pogba! Rashford again makes an intelligent run from the left in behind Nordtveit and cuts the ball back precisely for Pogba. He opens his body up and tries to steer it into the far corner, but it veers just wide of the West Ham goal.

It;s a poor delivery however, easily cleared at the first time of asking.

West Ham have their first chance to launch one into the box with Carroll in there after Carrick is penalised.

Now Slaven Bilic makes a change, Payet trots off to be replaced by Andy Carroll.

Pogba lets the ball run across his body and looks to guide one into the far corner, sending Randolph scrambling across goal but his effort is always veering just wide.

After that goal, Mourinho makes his final change with Chris Smalling coming on for Mkhitaryan. Carrick will move back into midfield.

United finally have their breakthrough! Moments after Antonio passed up the best chance of the game, West Ham are punished. Carrick lifts a superb ball out for Rashford, who drives in from the left with Nordtveit backpeddling. The 19-year-old reaches the byline and superbly picks out Mata, who steers it into the far corner.

De Gea saves again! West Ham cut through United with ease with the away side's line all over the place. Lanzini slides an easy one through for Antonio who is one on one with De Gea, but he makes a vital stop with his legs.

Here comes that change. Jesse Lingard, who has been very ineffective this evening, trots off to be replaced my Marcus Rashford. Anthony Martial remains on the bench.

Marcus Rashford looks like he might be the next man to come on.

A pass rebounds off Mike Dean and into the path of Mkhitayran, who is cleaned out by an awful challenge from Kouyate. It should be a yellow, but the West Ham man gets away from it.

Ibrahimovic now almost latches onto the end of a dodgy back pass but Randolph races off his line to sweep clear.

United do look a lot sharper, zipping the ball down the left before it is swung into the box. Valencia knocks the ball back to the edge of the box where Ibrahimovic allows it to run to Lingard, who curls his shot well over the bar.

The introduction of Mata has prompted a bit of a reshuffle; Rojo has moved to left-back with Carrick dropping in at centre-half.

And we are back underway for the second half, Juan Mata is on for Matteo Darmian.

Half-time: West Ham United 0-0 Manchester United

Mourinho is already heading towards the tunnel. He can't have been happy with this.

Two minutes of time added on at the end of this first-half.

Fine save from De Gea! Lanzini twists and turns on the edge of the box, working the ball onto his right foot to curl one on goal but the Spaniard gets a hand up to push it away.

Darmian steps across to block Antonio who threatens to break from his own half and is shown a yellow card. Ironic cheers rise up from around the London Stadium.

United should be a goal ahead. A cross from the right is knocked back across goal to Mkhitaryan into Valencia, who is denied by a superb point blank save from Randolph. It spills to Lingard who is maybe three yards out from goal, but he prods his effort off the inside of the post. The ball rolls across the line but not across it, and Randolph collects.

That was a woeful attempt from Lingard. I have no idea how he managed to miss that.

Jose Mourinho will not be happy with this, his side have been fairly useless in the final third despite the numerical advantage.

Payet is now shown a yellow card for what I presume was his reaction to seeing United awarded a free kick on the edge of their own box. Dean running the show, here.

Man Utd are very narrow at the moment, West Ham are very deep but aren't being put under any real intense pressure.

Jose Mourinho's side have had 71% of possession since that red card. West Ham finally get the ball after Carrick is penalised for a foul.

West Ham looked very bright prior to that decision, it is no surprise they have sunk a bit since the red. Possession is all United at the moment, the home side are sat deep in their own half.

Phil Jones is getting booed every time he touches the ball no,w but he in no way influenced Dean's terrible decision there.

Wow, this is a pretty awful shout from Mike Dean. Sofiane Feghouli overuns the ball slightly and slides in to win it back with Phil Jones coming in from the other direction. Jones comes off the worse as they collide, but it was an honest attempt from both men to win the ball. Not in Dean's mind, he whips out the red card and West Ham are down to 10 after 15 minutes.

RED CARD - Sofiane Feghouli (West Ham)

West Ham come forward on the counter, moving the ball to Payet who is 25 yards out from goal. He draws in both Carrick and Rojo, leaving Lanzini with loads of room in the middle and finds his teammate. Lanzini's shot looks to be going wide, but De Gea palms it away just to be sure.

Payet gets the ball on the edge of the D again and skips over a challenge from Carrick, but United quickly crowd him and force him to get a shot off, another poor one.

West Ham knock the ball from side to side in front of the Man Utd defence until Payet gets sick of all that nonsense and takes a shot on from 30 yards out. It is a poor one that trickles well wide of De Gea's post, however.

Not much has happened in these opening four minutes, United are predictably enjoying the greater share of possession but neither side has been able to penetrate the other yet.

And West Ham get us started.

We are almost ready to get started at the London Stadium; both teams are about to make their way out from the tunnel.

Manchester City have secured a narrow win over Burnley; they sit six points ahead of Manchester United ahead of kick off.

Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Mark Noble all drop out of the West Ham starting XI with Manuel Lanzini, Pedro Obiang and Sofiane Feghouli all coming in,

Jose Mourinho makes five changes to the side that beat Middlesbrough. As expected, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo come back in at centre-half with Matteo Darmian replacing Daley Blind at left-back. Michael Carrick replaces Fellaini in midfield with Jesse Lingard coming in, somewhat surprisingly, for Anthony Martial.

West Ham team to face Manchester United: Randolph, Reid, Cresswell, Nordtveit, Feghouli, Kouyate, Lanzini, Obiang, Ogbonna, Payet, Antonio

Manchester United team to face West Ham: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Darmian; Carrick, Herrera; Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Lingard, Ibrahimovic,

Subs: Romero, Smalling, Fellaini, Young, Mata, Martial, Rashford

BREAKING: Michael Carrick returns to the United starting XI as Jose Mourinho makes five changes to the side that beat Middlesbrough. Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo come back in at centre-half.

Anthony Martial provided arguably his best performance in the league this season on Saturday and given his fondness for scoring past the Hammers, we expect him to start again today. The Frenchman has scored five times against West Ham since joining the club - more than any other opponent.

These two sides have already met twice this season. West Ham left Old Trafford with a point after holding Jose Mourinho's side to a draw in their Premier League clash in November. Three days later, they met in the EFL Cup quarter-final but that was a slightly more one sided affair -a 4-1 win with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial each scoring a brace.

United are unbeaten in 12 games and a win today will see them move level on points with fourth-place Tottenham, who do not play until Wednesday.

With Manchester City currently being held at home to Burnley having also been reduced to 10 men, they cannot afford to slip up this evening.

Team news - West Ham United

Slaven Bilic would have liked to have rang in the changes this afternoon but with Mark Noble possibly joining Alvaro Arbeloa, Arthur Masuaku, Diafra Sakho and Gokhan Tore on the injury list, he may not have that option. The Hammers boss was giving nothing away when he spoke on the issue on Sunday, but feels his squad is up to the task.

It's a special circumstance [at this time of year] because the next game comes in no time. You want your best team and your best players to play, but it is more about talking to players and feeling how they really feel.

"We will see, but we don't have many more injuries than the other teams are having. Our bench on Saturday was a good one as well, so we have options."

Team news - Manchester United

Michael Carrick missed out on Saturday due to illness but an afternoon off may have beckoned anyway given United's tight schedule. A return seems likely today, with skipper Wayne Rooney also hoping to make the squad. Jose Mourinho said of the pair:

Rooney has a little chance and Michael has a bigger chance than Rooney. Let's see how he is tomorrow.

Team news - Manchester United

Eric Bailly played his last game for United on Saturday before departing for Ivory Coast's Africa Cup of Nations campaign. The 22-year-old might not be available again until the first week of February, depending on how far his country advance.

Just 48 hours after coming off the pitch in their last matches, West Ham United and Manchester United are back in action, United travel down south hoping to move level on points with Tottenham Hotspur, would are not in action until Wednesday - against Chelsea.
