Carlton Cole and Valon Behrami (both knee) are definitely out, but Kieron Dyer may feature after playing 75 minutes for the reserves on Monday. Manchester United could welcome back Edwin van der Sar after three games out with a knee injury. But defenders Jonny Evans (calf) and John O'Shea (thigh) look set to remain on the sidelines.

But the champions did the double over Zola's men last season without conceding a goal. - Sir Alex Ferguson has been busy concentrating on the next generation of United first-teamers this week, with a youthful side impressing against Tottenham in the Carling Cup quarter-finals. Eighteen-year-old striker Federico Macheda has been tied to a long-term deal, but the Old Trafford club have ended their interest in Partizan Belgrade teenager Adem Ljajic.

MOST RECENT MEETING West Ham 0-1 Man Utd (8 February 2009) West Ham scorer: Giggs 62 M.E.N Prediction: West Ham 1-2 United - The Hammers should give United enough chances to win Key opponent: Franco - a creative force going forward for the Hammers skysports.com prediction: West Ham 1-3 Man Utd One to watch: Zavon Hines Lawro's predictions West Ham 1-3 Man Utd Manchester United are another team to have rested a host of first-teamers in the week and the players that they'll call upon on Saturday are sheer quality. West Ham may have scored five against Burnley last week but in truth they could have conceded five as well and I just don't think they are strong enough defensively to consistently be winning games at the moment. http://tinyurl.com/ykgrupb http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8390387.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3150248,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8392845.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.16.226
