Team News:
Manchester United
Man United will again be without the services of Phil Jones on Tuesday due to a long-term knee injury, while Eric Bailly remains a doubt due to the knock that he picked up ahead of the Everton clash.

The home side will also be without key midfielder Paul Pogba, who was forced off the field in the first half against the Toffees due to a thigh problem. The World Cup winner is facing "a few weeks" on the sidelines, meaning that he will be absent for a number of key matches.

Solskjaer is expected to resist the temptation to make alterations for this match, with Fred for Pogba potentially the only outfield change, although Dean Henderson should come in for David de Gea between the sticks.

Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic are perhaps the two players pushing the hardest to be involved in the starting XI, but Man United are not back in action after this match until Sunday, and Solskjaer could therefore keep faith with the side that impressed going forward against Everton.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani

West Ham
As for West Ham, Arthur Masuaku and Darren Randolph remain absent through injury, but Soucek, as mentioned, has been successful in his appeal against Saturday's red card and is therefore available.

Moyes is expected to make changes from the side that started against Fulham, with Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Mark Noble, Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini all pushing for spots in the XI.

Andriy Yarmolenko could also be handed a spot in the final third, with Michail Antonio potentially being rested due to the volume of muscular problems that the Englishman picks up. Jesse Lingard, meanwhile, is ineligible to face his parent club on Tuesday night.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Fredericks, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Noble, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Yarmolenko
West Ham United FA Cup form: WLWLWW

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 West Ham United
