Manchester Utd – West Ham United

The London club’s trip to Old Trafford might end with a sensational win

Manchester United v West Ham will grace the 14th round of the Premier League on Sunday. Despite their current sixth position, they remain one of the main newsmakers in the league. The Red Devils have lost their opening games of the season, Eric ten Hague has Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, but Manchester United beat England's top clubs and conceded six goals in the derby. West Ham, on the other hand, have so far caught the eye with a reversal of previous seasons playing form. In the past two championships, the Hammers started well, staying even in the Champions League zone, but then gradually slid down the standings. In the current Premier League campaign, however, the London club are gradually making up for their slump in the starting line-up. In the upcoming game, bookmakers have selected the "merry" Manchester United as the favourite with odds of around 1.70 to win. Eric ten Hag's side have actually managed to beat Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal in the current championship, still leading the standings. That said, the team's current sixth place shows that United will be fighting for a place in the Champions League zone this season, with no more ambitious goals. There is still a sense of incompleteness in Manchester United's squad, which can be attributed to the too-short tenure of the head coach. Having said that, after the defeat to Manchester City, the Red Devils have posted a seven-match unbeaten streak in October, with five victories recorded. Sooner or later, Erik ten Hag's team will not be able to withstand the frenetic schedule and will suffer a setback. West Ham started the league season with three defeats, but have gradually levelled the standings. "The Hammers play alongside the Premier League in the Conference League, where they have no problem stacking up win after win. The London club played eight official games in October, losing two away matches to local sides in Liverpool but winning five with one draw. West Ham are in fighting form and are unlikely to come to Old Trafford with shaky knees. Just over a year ago, the Hammers won at this stadium and, at no risk, will go for another win on Sunday.
