Manchester United vs West Ham

Manchester United will be looking to maintain their recent resurgence when they host West Ham in an English Premier League fixture.

The Red Devils have done some good work at home and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should get the better of the Hammers, who are still trying to get some traction for their campaign.

Manchester United News

Manchester United claimed a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League, with Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount getting the goals. It was a solid return to winning ways for the Hammers, who had been on a three-match winless run.

That result also moved Manchester United up to sixth in the table, three points off the top four. Manager Ruben Amorim will be looking to build on the victory at Selhurst Park, and the Red Devils have won four of their last five home matches.

Manchester United are also beginning to click in attack and have scored the first goal in the first half in four of their last five home matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league fixtures, five of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

West Ham News

West Ham head into this clash off the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool in their previous Premier League fixture. It was a major setback for Nuno Espirito Santo's men, who had been on a three-match unbeaten run.

That defeat leaves West Ham dangerously close to the relegation zone as they sit above the bottom three only on goal difference. They will be keen to get things back on track, but are winless in six of their last seven away matches across all competitions.

Among the issues for West Ham is a shaky backline that is without a clean sheet in the last 10 Premier League matches. However, they have scored in four of their last five matches, with all four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester United have seven wins, while West Ham have been victorious five times in the last 12 matches. The last meeting was a friendly in the summer, which ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts.

Verdict

Man Utd (W) v West Ham (W)

Neither defence has been convincing lately, and with both teams scoring in two of their last three meetings, a repeat is expected here. Manchester United have opened the scoring in the first half in four of their last five home matches, and that trend is likely to continue.

Having earned a win and over 2.5 goals in three of their last five home matches, Manchester United could be set for a similar outcome on Thursday.
