The second iteration of the Premier League Summer Series gets underway this weekend, with Manchester United beginning their campaign against West Ham United.
Chelsea were the inaugural winners of this preseason tournament two summers ago, and the competition is back in the United States in 2025 following last year’s cancellation.
Bournemouth and Everton kick off first on Saturday night before these two lock horns, with United aiming score a rare victory over the Hammers. West Ham have won four of the previous five head-to-head meetings, including a 2–0 triumph at Old Trafford in May.
The two clubs headed into the summer off the bad of wretched seasons, although United’s 2024–25 campaign was historically bad. In east London, Graham Potter struggled to rejuvenate a West Ham squad that suffered under Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers’ preseason started with a 3–1 win over Grasshoppers last weekend, while United played out a drab stalemate with Leeds United in Stockholm.
Here’s guide to this Premier League Summer Series clash.
