Best Odds: 44/5
West Ham United and Manchester United will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between David Moyes’s side and Erik ten Hag’s team will be held at London Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 2 pm UK time on Sunday.
West Ham United
West Ham United are one of the biggest and most established clubs in the Premier League. The Hammers have a very strong squad and under the now-departed manager David Moyes, the London club have been used to playing in European competitions in recent years.
Julen Lopetegui’s side are struggling at the moment. The Hammers are as low as 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with eight points from eight matches, only five points above the relegation zone. West Ham need to go on a winning run to stand a chance of even competing for the European places in the Premier League,
West Ham will head into the Premier League match against Manchester United at London Stadium this coming Sunday on the back of a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league. It came after a 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town at London Stadium in the Premier League which followed a 1-1 draw with Brentford on the road in another London derby in the league.
Team News:
West Ham United are likely to line up in 4-1-4-1 formation against Manchester United. Alphonse Areola will be in goal for the Hammers. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman and Emerson will be the four defenders. Guido Rodríguez will be the holding midfielder. Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek, Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville will be the four attacking midfielders. Michail Antonio will lead the line for the Hammers.
Manchester United
Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England, but they have not won the Premier League title since 2013. Under manager Erik ten Hag, things have been pretty inconsistent. This season once again, the Red Devils are not going to challenge for the Premier League title and may not even end up in the top four.
Ten Hag’s side are not having the best of times at the moment. United are 11th in the Premier League table at the moment with 11 oints from eight matches, eight points above the relegation zone and six points behind Aston Villa, who are currently fourth in the standings and occupy the final UEFA Champions League spot.
United will take on Turkish giants Fenerbahce away from home in the League Stage of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening before facing West Ham United at London Stadium in the Premier League this coming weekend. Ten Hag’s side beat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford in the league this past weekend which came after a goalless draw with Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League.
Team News:
Manchester United are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against West Ham United. Andre Onana will be in goal for the Red Devils and will have Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martínez in front of him in defence. Christian Eriksen and Casemiro will be the two holding midfielders. Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho will be the three attacking midfielders. Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line for the Red Devils.
