Manchester United and West Ham will face once again, just three days after their dramatic Premier League encounter. This time in the third round of the Carabao Cup, but the match will took place at Old Trafford. As You probably know, Man United won 2:1 at the London Stadium in a very interesting match three days ago. Goalkeeper David De Gea was the hero after he saved a last-minute penalty. On the other side, Mark Noble was a tragic figure. He was brought on specifically to take the penalty, but failed to convert. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the first goal, was overshadowed by Jesse Lingard. The striker, who excelled on loan at West Ham last season, scored a terrific winning goal in the finish of the match. The player, who scored nine goals for the Hammers during that loan spell, was now at opposite side. Lingard refused to celebrate his late winner and he was very respectful to the club that had given him an opportunity last season.

Manchester United are sharing the top of the Premier League table with Liverpool and Chelsea. All three teams have 13 points. The Red Devils beat Leeds United, Wolverhampton, Newcastle and West Ham, while shared the points with Southampton. The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo brought some new energy and his impact was immediate - he scored four goals in his first three appearance for the club. According to many pundits, Manchester United are genuine title pretenders this season. But not everything is perfect, the Red Deils suffered an embarrassing 2:1 defeat away to Young Boys in the Champions League. Ole can not allow another disappointment, so this match is important for the Norwegian coach. Solskjaer must rotate the players, so the likes of Donny van de Beek, Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial could start here. Third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton may earn a rare start as Dean Henderson builds up his fitness. Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo remain sidelined through injuries, but Edinson Cavani is rated as doubtful. This match will likely be too soon for Alex Telles and Phil Jones.

David Moyes continues his good work at West Ham and the fans are satisfied. He was able to transform West Ham from relegation candidates to Europe League participants. The Hammers finished 6th last season and now play competitive football in Europe for the first time since the 2016/17 season. Speaking of that, West Ham beat the Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in the first round of UEFA Europe League. The start of the new domestic season could also be evaluated as good, despite the last weekend's defeat. They beat Newcastle and Leicester City, shared the points with Crystal Palace and Southampton before the mentioned loss to Man United. It is important to be mentioned that their key player Michail Antonio didn't play on Saturday due to suspension. Maybe that was the reason for the first defeat of the season. Now he returns and should slot straight back into the starting eleven. Most of the players are ready, only Winston Reid is out injured. However, some changes are expected. Reserve goalkeeper Alphonse Areola may replace Lukasz Fabianski, while Marc Noble, Alex Kral, Issa Diop, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku could start here.

Manchester United vs West Ham Prediction:

I expect both teams to score at Old Trafford. Solskjaer and Moyes will make lot of changes, but there will be enough attacking power on the pitch. Solskjaer wll ask offensive from his players, no doubt about that. It is impossible to do any different in front of full-packed Old Trafford. However, that means the Hammers will have lot of space for fast counter-attacks. They already showed how dangerous could be in such situation. With Michail Antonio now back in the team, even more.
