West Ham vs Man United Combined XI: Cunha left out, Mainoo and Bowen in
Manchester United will face West Ham United at the London Stadium on Tuesday.
It is a crucial fixture for both sides, though for very different reasons.
A win for the Red Devils could propel them into third place, while a home victory would move the Hammers a step further away from the relegation battle.
With both teams in strong form, it sets up perfectly for a fascinating combined XI.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper
Senne Lammens
After clean sheets against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, Senne Lammens takes this spot without much competition from the two West Ham shot-stoppers.
Defence
Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw
Choosing between Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a close call, but the Portuguese full-back just gets the nod.
He has performed in various roles this season, provided more to the attack and is on an upward trajectory under caretaker head coach Michael Carrick.
Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez have forged an outstanding partnership at the heart of defence. Luke Shaw completes the back four.
Midfield
Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes
The midfield is dominated by Manchester United.
Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo look made for each other, blending steel with composure.
The former Real Madrid enforcer breaks up play, while Mainoo constantly shows for the ball and drives United forward.
Bruno Fernandes is undoubtedly the most influential attacking midfielder in Europe right now.
A special mention also goes to Mateus Fernandes, who has shown real promise and could be attracting serious interest from top clubs this summer.
Attack
Crysencio Summerville, Bryan Mbeumo, Jarrod Bowen
United have netted 46 goals this season, the third-most in the English top flight.
Yet Summerville and Bowen both force their way in on the back of sensational recent form.
Matheus Cunha has enjoyed a better season than Summerville but the West Ham winger has four goals in the last four games. He takes the left-wing spot.
Mbeumo leads the line after taking his Premier League tally to nine with his strike against Tottenham last weekend.
Amad Diallo has looked threatening, but Jarrod Bowen has produced better numbers from the right-wing position.
