West Ham United welcome Manchester United at the Upton Park on Tuesday for a match that will have a huge impact on both teams. On one hand, West Ham need to bid farewell to Upton Park in style after playing their home matches at the venue for the last 112 years. The Hammers will then move to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park stadium in the summer after signing a 99-year lease with the government.
Additionally, the Hammers have proven to be a hard nut to crack at Upton Park this season, and they will be hoping to perform even better when they move to their new fortress for the 2016/17 season. Out of their last 16 home games, they have only lost once, hence giving Louis Van Gaal’s men a good reason to worry.

On the other hand, Man Utd come into this match knowing very well that any other result, apart from a win, could end their Champions League hopes. A win will take them to the fourth place on the log with 66 points, one more than their next door neighbours Man City who have 65 points after securing a 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend.
History favors Man United in this fixture; the Red Devils have not lost at the Upton Park in the league since 2007, a run that translates to six matches. Moreover, LVG’s men have lost just once in their last nine games. Interestingly, the Hammers are also in the race to finish in the top four brackets but the Europa League spot looks more realistic.
Team news
West Ham
Goalkeeper Adrian is the only injury concern for Bilic in this fixture due to a calf injury. Darren Randolph is expected to start between the sticks as a result.
Man United
The visitors could play without Anthony Martial due to a hamstring problem. Matteo Darmian could also miss this clash due to an ankle injury, and the same case applies to Marouane Fellaini, who has been suspended. As a result, Van Gaal could recall Daley Blind and Marcus Rashford to the starting lineup.
