Manchester United Vs Westham United (0 - 0 ) On 5th December 2015
West Ham could set a Premier League first with victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
No team has ever won at Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and United in the same Premier League season, but the Hammers are three quarters of the way there.
They also beat champions Chelsea in late October, although their form has dipped since that result, with two defeats and two draws in their last four games.
United have drawn their last two matches against PSV Eindhoven and Leicester and their playing style has continued to come under scrutiny.
Premier League questions
We take a look at 10 questions that could be answered this weekend
However, they start the weekend just one point behind league leaders City and face three sides in the bottom half of the table before Christmas.
Team news
Wayne Rooney misses out for United due to an ankle injury and defender Marcos Rojo is also unavailable after dislocating his shoulder in training.
Phil Jones and Ander Herrera have not overcome the ankle and hamstring injuries they suffered at Watford a fortnight ago while Luke Shaw (leg) and Antonio Valencia (foot) are also out, but Jesse Lingard has recovered from a hamstring injury.
Andy Carroll is set to start for West Ham after Diafra Sakho was ruled out for around three months with a thigh injury sustained against West Brom last Sunday.
Sakho joins Dimitri Payet and Enner Valencia (both ankle) on the sidelines but skipper Mark Noble and defender James Collins are available after completing suspensions.
United are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League meetings with West Ham, winning 11 and drawing two.
West Ham have lost seven successive Premier League games at Old Trafford and have won only twice there in the Premier League era (W2 D0 L17).
Indeed, of teams United have faced 10+ times at Old Trafford, the hosts' best Premier League points-per-game rate has come against West Ham (2.70).
