West Ham v Man Utd

West Ham vs Manchester United Preview

West Ham will be hoping they can bounce back from last weekend's heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham this Sunday afternoon when they play host to Manchester United at the London Stadium, while Manchester United will be keen to build upon their 2-1 home win against Brentford last weekend.

That heavy loss away from home at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium resulted in West Ham dropping down the Premier League to 16th place but The Hammers still possess a useful five-point cushion between themselves and third from bottom club Crystal Palace ahead of this weekend's action.

Nevertheless, West Ham have found wins hard to come by so far in this season's Premier League campaign as Sunday's hosts have managed to capture just two wins to date which have come in the form of victories over the likes of fellow strugglers, Crystal Palace and newcomers, Ipswich Town.

Four defeats at the hands of Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham have overshadowed West Ham's modest success and it is worth pointing out that the former three defeats were all inflicted upon Lopetegui's side on home soil at their London Stadium.

Manchester United have also produced a mixed bag of results so far in this season's domestic top flight campaign as the Red Devils have managed to pick up just three wins within their opening eight league matches which have come courtesy of victories over Fulham, Southampton and Brentford respectively.

However, the visitors have also slipped to three defeats in the early stages of this new Premier League season as well, being handed losses at the hands of Brighton, Liverpool and Tottenham respectively which have offset their three wins to date.

Points picked up in stalemates with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have not been enough to prevent Manchester United occupying a disappointing 12th place in the English top flight table, while results away from home continue to be a source of major concern for manager Erik ten Hag and his side.

Along with having registered just two wins from their previous 10 league matches on the road overall, Manchester United have been handed four defeats within this period as the visitors have slumped to defeats on the road at Manchester City, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively.

West Ham v Manchester United Verdict

Both West Ham and Manchester United have struggled to put together any sort of consistent sequence of results so far this season in the Premier League and as a result, this upcoming encounter in the nation's capital may well result in a low-scoring affair; indeed, five out of the last seven meetings between these two sides have produced two goals or less and another tight tussle beckons here as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Manchester Utd win @ 2.30

Other side bets worth considering:

Manchester Utd win & Under 3.5 goals @ 3.75

Correct Score: Manchester Utd 1-0 @ 13.00
