The Premier League is back with a full set of weekend fixtures as we return to regularly scheduled programming to begin the month of February. There are so many things up in the air at both ends of the table but hopefully, in the weeks ahead, we’ll start to get a bit more clarity. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between Manchester United and West Ham United.
Manchester United Form GuideManchester United supporters have spent the last decade experiencing brief moments of joy, but for the most part, their inconsistency has really hurt them on the pitch. Erik ten Hag is the latest manager to try and make a difference at Old Trafford, but there are still far more questions than answers for the Red Devils as we approach a critical few months for them.
Manchester United were, in more ways than one, in full control against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday - but they almost let it slip through their fingers. Thankfully, courtesy of a 97th minute goal from Kobbie Mainoo, they came away with a dramatic 4-3 win.
West Ham Form GuideWest Ham United haven’t known days as good as this in a long time. They are the current holders of the Conference League title, they’re going well in the Europa League, and they are as solid as ever in the Premier League. David Moyes has figured out a formula that works, which should serve as a real warning for the rest of the clubs in the top flight this season.
After going 1-0 down in the third minute, West Ham had to scratch and claw to get back into the game against Bournemouth. In the end, a fortunate penalty handed them a route back in as they went on to secure a 1-1 draw.
Match PredictionIf there’s one thing we know to expect from Manchester United at this point, it’s drama. They can’t seem to get enough of it and in a game against a side like West Ham, there’s no way we don’t see some carnage, which is why we’re backing over 2.5 goals scored.
