West Ham vs Manchester United prediction: How will Premier League meeting play out?
West Ham go into this game knowing that they could leapfrog Manchester United if they win, as the two sides are currently level on points.
The Hammers have looked impressive this season, but failed to break down Aston Villa on Monday night as they drew 0-0.
United ended their three game winless run by beating Leicester at home last Saturday, but have not scored more than once in a game this season since the 4-0 win over Chelsea on the opening weekend.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rotated heavily against FC Astana as United laboured to a 1-0 win, so much of his side should be well rested when they travel down to London.
We have everything you need to know ahead of the match.
Prediction
United have been turgid in attacking areas this season, and lack quality creators from midfield with Paul Pogba out injured.
The Hammers’ full-backs love to push on, but United may struggle to exploit them on the counter if Dan James and Mason Greenwood don’t start. Sebastian Haller versus Harry Maguire will be an interesting spectacle in both boxes.
Manuel Lanzini’s creativity will be sorely missed if he fails his fitness test, so this game could easily peter out into a draw.
