Jose Mourinho has no fresh injury concerns heading into Manchester United's Premier League opener against West Ham, live on Sky Sports.
United, who finished fifth last season but qualified for the Champions League through their Europa League success, will be looking for a speedy start as Mourinho prepares for his second full season in charge.
They've spent big on three signings - Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof - while West Ham themselves have also strengthened.
Joe Hart has come in on loan, while Pablo Zabaleta, Marko Arnautovic and former United striker Javier Hernandez have also arrived at the London Stadium.
Slaven Bilic's side finished 11th last season, 17 points worse off than the previous campaign.
Manchester United lost only once at home last season but 15 draws meant they finished sixth. One of the draws was November’s 1-1 with West Ham so what José Mourinho does not want is a repeat. Losing to Slaven Bilic’s side would be unthinkable but having spent £75m on Romelu Lukaku, £31m on Victor Lindelof and around £40m on Nemanja Matic this should not occur. Jamie Jackson

Opta Stats

1). Three of the last five Premier League games between these two clubs have ended in a draw, with one win apiece in this run.

2). United are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League home games with West Ham (W7 D2 L0) - their last home league defeat against the Hammers was on the final day of the 2006-07 season.

3). No team has won more opening day fixtures in the Premier League than United (16, level with Chelsea).

4). West Ham have lost more opening day fixtures than any other Premier League club (10).

5). Jose Mourinho has won seven of his previous eight opening day Premier League fixtures as a manager (D1).

6). Mourinho has never lost a home match on a Sunday in all competitions in his managerial career, winning 86 and drawing 26 of 112 games.

7). Lukaku scored in seven straight Premier League matches for Everton against West Ham between 2013 and 2016, but failed to find the net in his last match against them in April at the London Stadium.

. Hernandez scored 37 goals in 103 Premier League games for Man Utd, netting a goal every 130 minutes for the club.

Prediction
What's certain is that you can put Lukaku down for a goal, so United are a goal to the good already!
But despite the new-found goal threat I don't see United winning the league, they haven't got enough guile in midfield to pick through teams who will put 10 men behind the ball.
Jose Mourinho has built a team to be big and strong, a team that will blow others away. I see that being successful against West Ham, over a 38-game season though, I'm not so sure.

PREDICT: 3-1

The prediction is my own personal opinion.....

Useless club
Lukaku cannot save then from the obvious failure that is the Man Utd squad
*spits on mourinhos head*

I predict 2-1 in favour of Man U
