Danny Ings emphatically returned to form for West Ham at the weekend, bagging two quickfire goals in his side’s 4-0 triumph against Nottingham Forest.
No doubt there have always been question marks about his fitness, but when he’s on song, the striker is a quite the handful for defences.
It remains to be seen whether David Moyes opts to start him or wrap him up in cotton wool ahead of West Ham’s fight against the drop, but Man United will need a plan to deal with him just in case.
Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have been shining lights for Erik ten Hag at the back this season and could play a major role today. Unless of course, the Dutchman sees it as a perfect opportunity to reinstate club captain Harry Maguire…
