Follow live coverage as Manchester United face West Ham United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

The home side started this game on the front foot, but the Hammers have settled down and are starting to pass the ball around in midfield. Graham Potter will be hoping for more opportunities for the visitors after that big chance for Kilman earlier on.

SAVE! A long ball is whipped into the path of Diallo on the right flank. The Ivorian collects the ball and heads into the West Ham penalty area. He stands up Wan-Bissaka before firing in a shot which is parried away by Areola. The ball kindly falls to Fernandes, who blazes his effort over the crossbar!

CHANCE! Just as United are dominating the opening exchanges, they give away a free-kick on the left-hand side of the pitch. Ward-Prowse whips in the set-piece into the United penalty area but Kilman heads over Bayindir's goal. That was a good chance for the Hammers!

OVER! Diallo finds space on the right-hand side of the West Ham penalty area. Instead of driving towards goal, the winger sprays a pass towards Fernandes just outside the penalty area. The Portugal international decides to shoot first time but sees his effort sail over Areola's crossbar!

To emphasise how poor Manchester United have been this season, the home side's 16 Premier League defeats this campaign are their most in a league campaign since finishing 13th in 1989-90 (also 16), while they last lost more times in a league season in 1973-74 (20), suffering relegation that season.

The teams are in the tunnel and kick-off will commence shortly in sunny Manchester. The home side will be looking to pick up the three points today as they are without a win in their last six Premier League games (D2 L4). Graham Potter will come into this game in a buoyant mood having not lost to the Red Devils in his last three league games (W2 D1). He won 2-1 on his last visit to Old Trafford with Brighton in August 2022.

Meanwhile, Graham Potter has made three changes to his starting XI which drew against Tottenham in last week’s 1-1 encounter. Vladimir Coufal, Guido Rodriguez and James Ward-Prowse all come into the starting XI with Emerson, Lucas Paqueta and Niclas Fullkrug dropping to the bench. Jarrod Bowen plays up front with Mohammed Kudus. The Hammers captain has been in fine form for the visitors, with only Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes (both six) having been directly involved in more Premier League goals since the beginning of April than Bowen (five – three goals, two assists).

Harry Amass replaces Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount makes his first Old Trafford start since November 2024. The former Chelsea midfielder is coming into this game after scoring a brace against Athletic Club on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, the visitors are coming into this game after salvaging a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in last week’s Premier League encounter at the London Stadium. A 28th-minute goal from captain Jarrod Bowen cancelled out Wilson Odobert’s opener for Tottenham. The Hammers have been winless in their last eight league games, having not won since defeating Leicester City 2-0 on 27th February 2025. The last time the Hammers endured a long winless run in the competition was in May 2011 (nine games). However, after defeating the Red Devils 2-1 in October 2024, Graham Potter’s men will be looking to complete their first league double over today’s opponents since 2006-07.

Hosts Manchester United return to action after cementing their place in the UEFA Europa League final after dismantling Athletic Club 4-1 (7-1 on aggregate) in mid-week. Goals from Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund and a brace from Mason Mount ensure the Red Devils have an opportunity to win a European trophy and cement a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. In terms of the Premier League, the home side have been poor this season, languishing in 15th place in the table. Ruben Amorim’s side are currently two points ahead of today’s opponents, who sit in 17th place. The good news for the Red Devils is that they are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League home games against the Hammers (W13 D3), winning each of their last four without conceding.
