Manchester United tackle West Ham United tonight seeking to make it five victories on the bounce under Michael Carrick.
After wins over Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham, United swept aside Tottenham on Saturday to maintain hold of fourth spot – now only three points behind third place Aston Villa.
Carrick is up against one other of his former clubs tonight with the Hammers finally picking up run of form.
West Ham have won three of their last 4 league games, running Chelsea close at Stamford Bridge within the only defeat during that run.

Last day out
These two sides met just over two months ago within the league in what proved one other disappointing display for United under then-head coach Amorim.
An opener from Dalot was cancelled out by Magassa’s late strike to earn West Ham a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
You’d suspect they’d take that again tonight at home.
Third place beckons for United
A win tonight for Man Utd would see them leapfrog Aston Villa on goal difference and temporarily move into third. Who saw that coming just a few weeks ago?
West Ham, meanwhile, know that a fourth win in five would see them draw level on points with Nottingham Forest in seventeenth and pile the pressure on Sean Dyche’s side ahead of their match against Wolves tomorrow.
