Manchester United v West Ham
- 6pm BST kick-off on Sky Sports
- Match Odds:
My strongest is in a Manchester United win and it wouldn't surprise me if they responded to an FA Cup chastening with defensive solidity, so I'm slightly twitchy on the BTTS front. That being said, feels like a smart call and good value.
To bring the clean sheet possibility I'm going with as well as it covers plenty of results for us.
Now looking towards the anytime goalscorer market, I was soon put off backing Manchester United players. Martial, Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes offer no value, with each of them barely a shade over evens. But it's a different story for the away team's in-form men.
West Ham's goals are pretty much coming solely from Michail Antonio and Tomas Soucek, who have seven and three respectively in the Hammers' last five matches.
One final bet worth considering is He's reached that number in three of United's past four home games, twice reaching My only concern is whether West Ham decide to sit in and counter attack, because if that's the case then the United right-back might not have too much tackling to do.
It's one worth thinking about though.
Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 West Ham ()
