Confirmed Lineups: West Ham vs Man Utd

This evening will see West Ham host Manchester United in the final ever game at the Boleyn Ground before the Hammers move into the Olympic Stadium next season.
Three points for United would move them into fourth place and leave UEFA Champions League qualification in their own hands going into the final game of the season when they host Bournemouth.
The two teams for this evening’s game are confirmed as:

West Ham United

Darren Randolph; Michail Antonio, Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Diafra Sakho, Manuel Lanzini, Dimitri Payet; Andy Carroll
Substitutes: Raphael Spiegel, James Tomkins, James Collins, Pedro Obiang, Enner Valencia, Victor Moses, Emmanuel Eminike
Slaven Bilić makes one change from the 1-4 thrashing by Swansea City on this ground over the weekend which sees Diafra Sakho start in place of Victor Moses who drops to the bench.

Manchester United

David de Gea; Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo’ Ander Herrera, Morgan Schneiderlin, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial; Marcus Rashford
Substitutes: Sergio Romero, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Phil Jones, Michael Carrick, Jesse Lingard, Adnan Januzaj, Memphis Depay
Daley Bind and Marcus Rashford return to the starting XI after being rested for the 1-0 win at Norwich City on Saturday.
Juan Mata retains his place in the starting lineup after scoring the winner last time out, whilst Anthony Martial has recovered from his pre-match injury at Carrow Road to start this evening in the third change made by Louis van Gaal from the weekend.  The French international will be looking to get the better of Michail Antonio at right-back this evening who is simply not a defender and has shown poor positioning when called upon to play there previously.
There is a surprise inclusion of Ander Herrera in front of the back four, or potentially in a 4-1-4-1 formation.  With United needing nothing less than three points it appears Louis van Gaal has sent his side out to attack this evening.
