Manchester United's away form has been a real worry this season and they could again come unstuck on Sunday at West Ham.
The Red Devils lost 1-0 at Brighton on Thursday, a particularly painful defeat that came courtesy of a 99th-minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister.
That was their seventh away league loss of the season, while they also went down 3-0 at Sevilla to go out of the Europa League.
Opponents West Ham lost 3-0 at Manchester City on Wednesday, their third defeat in a row, but rotated at the Etihad and could be set to cause an upset at the London Stadium.

Team News
David Moyes is hopeful that Declan Rice, Nayef Aguerd and Tomas Soucek will be available after illness ruled them out against City but Kurt Zouma (ankle) and Vladimir Coufal (hamstring) are set to be unavailable.
Gianluca Scamacca is also a long-term absentee after undergoing knee surgery last month.
Man Utd could welcome back Alejandro Garnacho, who has not played since March due to an ankle injury.
However, Lisandro Martinez (foot), Donny van de Beek (knee), Scott McTominay (knock), Raphael Varane (ankle) and Tom Heaton (ankle) are all sidelined.
West Ham to win @ 23/10
The Red Devils have not lost to West Ham in the league since 2019, beating the Hammers in both the Premier League and FA Cup this season, both at Old Trafford.
While they sit fourth in the table, have already won the EFL Cup and are due to play local rivals City in the FA Cup final, Erik ten Hag's troops still do not entirely convince and their injury issues have hardly appeased their doubters.
Sunday's hosts, the Hammers, have endured a mixed season but are still not quite yet safe and have the motivation to build momentum as they look ahead to Thursday's Europa COnfierece League semi-final against AZ Alkmaar.
With them set to welcome some big names back, Moyes' men could condemn United to an eighth away league defeat of the season.

#PickYourPunt - Said Benrahma to score at anytime and Luke Shaw to be carded @ 17/2
Said Benrahma has not always inspired confidence since signing for West Ham in 2020 but does have a decent scoring record against United.
The 27-year-old has netted twice against the Red Devils, the most recent being in March's FA Cup loss at Old Trafford and having only played the final stages at the Etihad, he is likely to come back into the side on Sunday.
Benrahma will relish facing a makeshift United defence, which is again likely to feature Luke Shaw deployed as a central defender.
The England man has shown up well since being switched inside from left-back but has picked up two yellow cards in his last four appearances in a central role.
With Benrahma, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio likely to pose a real threat, Shaw might be in line for another caution.
