West Ham vs Manchester United live: What time does it start, what TV channel is it on and where can I watch it?
A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the London Stadium
Jose Mourinho's resurgent Manchester United are in a fine vein of form, winning their last five in the Premier League, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan firing on all cylinders.
On Monday, they travel to meet West Ham United, who are enjoying a mini-revival of their own.
Slaven Bilic's side had taken three points from each of their last three before the weekend's setback at Leicester City and will hope to return to winning ways at the London Stadium.

It’s a big game for…
Anthony Martial: The Frenchman has been left out in the cold at times by boss Jose Mourinho, but scored the equaliser against Middlesbrough on Saturday and generally caused them problems all game.
The next step for Martial is to build on that and cement his spot in the team, so can’t miss any opportunities to do so here.
Best stat…
16: West Ham United went a massive 16 games without a win against the Red Devils, spanning from 1993-2001 when West Ham beat them in both the FA Cup and the Premier League away from home.
Remember when…
West Ham United knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup after Paolo Di Canio calmly rolled the ball past Fabian Barthez in the United goal, who was still appealing for offside.
Player to watch…
Paul Pogba: After initially finding it difficult returning to Old Trafford following his record-breaking move from Juventus, the 23-year-old has finally found his feet.
Pogba has two goals and two assists in his last five outings, including that dramatic winner in United’s late turnaround against Middlesbrough on New Year’s Eve.
