Manchester United vs West Ham preview
Just as a single swallow doesn’t make a summer, one trophy doesn't necessarily mean that Man Utd are back to their best, no matter how tantalizing or terrifying the prospect. Still, there's likely to be a carnival atmosphere at Old Trafford tonight as the Red Devils host West Ham in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and Erik ten Hag's men will be keen to put on a show.
Some of the big guns, most notably Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, have been given a chance to put their feet up on the bench. However, Bruno Fernandes starts, as do Marcel Sabitzer, David de Gea and Harry Maguire.
The timing of this tie is unfortunate for David Moyes, who was axed less than a year after being appointed Man United manager. Nearly nine years on it still stings, but bursting his former side's bubble might just dampen the pain.
The Hammers romped to their biggest victory of the season at the weekend, a Danny Ings-inspired 4-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest. In typical fashion though, Ings has to sit today's game one out as he's cup-tied, which means Michail Antonio leads the line.
The Jamaica international has endured a nightmare season so far, though he chipped in on Saturday with his first league goal since October. Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals are on the flanks, with Lucas Paqueta in the No.10 position. With Lukasz Fabianski out with a fractured eye socket and cheekbone, Alphonse Areola takes his place between the sticks.
Man Utd's victory at the weekend was one to savor for rather different reasons. The League Cup triumph secured the first silverware of the ten Hag era, and at the Dutchman's first attempt.
The manner of the victory, in tandem with the Reds' stirring recent win over Barcelona and superb domestic form, has even led some excitable onlookers to count them as Premier League title contenders, though the majority of fans would no doubt disagree.
What they are, for perhaps the first time since Alex Ferguson's departure a decade ago, is a team that's unequivocally on the rise. Making the quarter-finals of the FA Cup would represent yet another step in the right direction.
