Manchester United are seeking to continue their winning streak when they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium tonight.
A dominant win over Tottenham made it four wins from four for Michael Carrick on Saturday afternoon with Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes on the score sheet.
Ahead of kick-off, there was perhaps the temptation to start Benjamin Sesko following his last-gap winner against Fulham the previous week.
The Slovenia international remained on the bench and did little to help his cause with a glaring miss late on.
Carrick has tweaked his attacking set up slightly with Mbeumo shifting over to the left in stages against Spurs with Cunha advancing through the middle. But the personnel has remained the same since Patrick Dorgu was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Given how effectively they have operated, the trio of Mbeumo, Cunha and Amad Diallo with Bruno Fernandes joining them could stay in place for the trip to east London.
Aside from Cunha coming in for the injured Dorgu, Carrick has stuck with the same XI since taking the reins. But given this is the first midweek game United have had since his arrival, it could be an opportunity to rotate.

Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven have managed just a minute of football each under the new manager and are options to come in along with Noussair Mazrazoui. But the temptation will be to stick with the same back four that has served the midfielder so well so far.
Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined with a back problem with no clear indication on when he will be returning to action.
Mason Mount is United’s other injury absentee.
Man Utd XI to face West Ham – Metro prediction
Carrick could very well name the same starting XI for the third game in a row.
As good as United have looked recently, there is a lingering question of how well they will operate against a low block.
Sesko is still to start a game since Carrick’s arrival but will surely have a role to play off the bench, particularly if United do have problems breaking the Hammers down and need a more direct approach.
