Manchester United vs West Ham United

Manchester United and West Ham United go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Premier League showdown at Old Trafford.

Fresh from a scintillating 3-1 romping of the Premier League newcomers Brentford in midweek, Manchester United will be looking to launch a winning streak and maintain their hopes of reaching a top-four finish come May. The ‘Red Devils’ have enjoyed quite a renaissance since parting with former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, going unbeaten in eight of their nine league matches in the post-Norwegian era (W5, D3). However, a return to Old Trafford may not necessarily improve Man United’s chances of winning, considering they’ve conceded first in four of their last six Premier League games at home (W3, L3). Yet, they have won 20 of their 25 Premier League home clashes against West Ham (D3, L2), going unbeaten in the last 13 in a row since a 1-0 defeat in 2007.

Meanwhile, West Ham United’s pursuit of their first-ever top-four finish in the Premier League suffered a major setback last time out as they fell to a 3-2 home loss to bottom-half Leeds United. After ending a run of three league wins beforehand, the ‘Hammers’ will fall back on their recent upturn in form on the road, having gone from four league trips without winning (D1, L3) to back-to-back away victories. Head coach David Moyes could take this match personally as he seeks his first-ever Premier League win at Old Trafford as away manager, going winless in his previous 14 attempts (D4, L10). Even if his men concede first, Moyes is unlikely to lose hopes of snatching away all three points, with West Ham winning more Premier League away games from losing positions than any other side this season (GP6 – W3, L3).
