Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Manchester United and West Ham.

David Moyes on Patrice Evra: "Patrice is one of the finest leaders around the dressing room that I have ever seen. He speaks well in everything he does and the way he speaks about the club is great. He is inspirational behind the scenes and reminds all the boys what their jobs and duties are. He knows we have to have a strong Manchester United. He demands. He doesn't think winning one game is it. He is saying no, we need to win all the games."

Hammers skipper Kevin Nolan again misses out as he serves the last game of his three-match ban for his sending off at Liverpool while Winston Reid (ankle), Stewart Downing (calf), Andy Carroll (heel), Ricardo Vaz Te (shoulder) and Mladen Petric (thigh) are also absent. James Tomkins does return from a calf problem.

There is an unfamiliar name on the United bench as young goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is named among the subs. He is joined by such names as Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher, Shinji Kagawa and Javier Hernandez. Illustrious.

So Wayne Rooney, having been ruled out for a month, is passed fit and starts up front alongside Danny Welbeck. With Van Persie out, it was imperative that United got Rooney fit quickly but that is a remarkable turnaround.

TEAMS - Manchester United: De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Jones, Cleverley, Januzaj, Welbeck, Rooney; Subs: Johnstone, Giggs, Chicharito, Young, Fletcher, Kagawa, Büttner /// West Ham: Adrian, Demel, Tomkins, Collins, McCartney, Noble, Morrison, Taylor, Jarvis, Maiga, Diame; Subs: Jaaskelainen, Rat, Collison, O'Brien, Diarra, J.Cole, C.Cole
