Evra out for United

Patrice Evra remains Manchester United’s only injury absentee for Sunday’s trip to West Ham.

The Barclays Premiership leaders will be looking to consolidate their five-point advantage over Chelsea, and Sir Alex Ferguson could name an unchanged side.

United have an impressive away record this term, failing to win on just one occasion – at Reading – although with Alan Curbishley taking charge of the Hammers for the first time another victory will not be easy.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Heinze, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O’Shea, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Richardson, Rooney, Smith, Solskjaer, Saha.
