Manchester United is hoping to continue its revival on Thursday as it welcomes a West Ham team to Old Trafford that'll be missing a key player. 

United's steady improvement continued over the weekend, with the Red Devils ending Crystal Palace's 12-match unbeaten run with an impressive 2-1 comeback win at Selhurst Park. Another win here at home for Ruben Amorim's men could see them climb back into the English Premier League top five. 

The Hammers, meanwhile, come into this game a full ten points behind their hosts in the standings. After an encouraging three-game unbeaten run, manager Nuno Espírito Santo will need to lift his troops again following a passive showing at home to a struggling Liverpool on Sunday. That game saw the Hammers crash to a 0-2 defeat, leaving them once again looking over their shoulders toward the relegation zone, while Brazilian star Lucas Paqueta's petulant second-half sendoff means he's suspended for this key game.  

Manchester United takes on West Ham United on Thursday at Old Trafford, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. GMT. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Friday morning.

How to watch the Premier League 2025-26 from anywhere with a VPN

If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.

It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.

However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance with their terms.

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
