Somewhere tucked away in Portugal's sunny Algarve there lies a little known private and exclusive 'Holiday Village, our Portugese writer Rodrigo Perreira takes up the story.

West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Rice, Soucek, Bowen, Fornals, Haller. Subs: Randolph, Diop, Johnson, Noble, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Benrahma.
Man Utd: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Pogba, Greenwood, Van de Beek, Martial, Cavani. Subs: Grant, Tuanzebe, Williams, Matic, Mata, Fernandes, Rashford.

This Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture between West Ham and Man Utd will be the first to actually feature fans, albeit a microscopic 2,000 instead of the 60,000 the London Stadium is capable of holding. The visitors are on a fine run of form, as are their hosts, so it virtually inconceivable that the match will finish as a 0-0 draw.
