United looking to bounce back
Manchester United must get their Premier League title challenge back on track against West Ham United on Tuesday at Old Trafford following their disappointing 3-1 defeat at Everton on Saturday.
The Red Devils have slipped four points behind leaders Chelsea, who won 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Didier Drogba at the double.
Wayne Rooney, who has 14 Premier League goals in his last 14 games, will be wanting to fire his side back into contention and put the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti's outfit.
He has also scored in the last five games at Old Trafford as his season form continues to glow.
United will be buoyed by their fine recent form at Old Trafford and, with the Hammers' form somewhat shocking on the road, everything points to a home win.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men have won five Premier League games on the spin on home soil without seeing their defensive ranks breached in a ruthless run.
They have scored 20 goals in this period and, with Gianfranco Zola's men failing to win on their travels since the opening day of the season, they have it all to do in the north west.
In previous Premier League meetings, West Ham have claimed two wins against Sir Alex Ferguson's men - both 1-0 successes - and they have lost the other 12.
There hasn't been a stalemate to date and the Upton Park faithful will have vivid memories of their last success there in May 2007.
Carlos Tevez's solitary strike was enough to beat the the already crowned champions, ensuring they staved off relegation on the final day of the campaign.
West Ham will take heart from that win and also their recent back-to-back victories over Birmingham City and Hull City at Upton Park as they have pulled away from the relegation zone slightly in recent times.
They now sit in 13th position and, crucially, four points ahead of Owen Coyle's Bolton Wanderers in the third and final drop zone position.
Ryan Giggs will miss the game with a broken arm alongside John O'Shea and Owen Hargreaves.
Kieron Dyer, Benni McCarthy, Herita Ilunga and Zavon Hines head a lengthy West Ham injury list and they will miss the midweek showdown.
United, as expected, are overwhelming sportsbook favourites to grab all three points.
