Manchester United are in need of some festive cheer as they face a Premier League trip to West Ham on December 23.

Erik ten Hag's side have won just once in their last four league outings with the Red Devils also dumped out of Europe at the Champions League group stages earlier this month.

The Hammers bowed out of the Carabao Cup with a 5-1 midweek quarterfinal defeat away at Liverpool but David Moyes' team have lost just one of their last six in the Premier League.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

West Ham vs Man United lineups

Moyes will rotate his team after resting players for their cup loss at Anfield and Nayef Aguerd and Maxwell Cornet should be fit following illness. Michail Antonio is still missing with a knee problem but Lukasz Fabianski, Kurt Zouma, Lucas Paqueta and James Ward-Prowse should come back in.

West Ham lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Fabianski (GK) — Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Emerson — Alvarez, Ward-Prowse — Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta — Bowen.

Ten Hag's injury list remains in double figures with Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof back in training, but not match fit for the visitors. Bruno Fernandes is back following suspension but Portugal teammate Diogo Dalot serves a one-game ban.

Man United lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Kambwala, Evans, Shaw — Mainoo, McTominay— Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.

West Ham vs Man United prediction

West Ham have the advantage in terms of current form and Moyes will be determined to draw a reaction from his players following their poor showing at Liverpool.

The Hammers have won four of their last six home Premier League games against United, but the short turnaround from a midweek cup match is a concern for Moyes, and might give the underperforming visitors a chance in London.

Prediction: West Ham 1-1 Man United
