This weekend, we have a Sunday afternoon packed full of Premier League action. No less than four games are due to take place. One of those games sees West Ham and Man United go head-to-head in East London.
Can the hosts bounce back after that rather humiliating defeat against Spurs last time out? Will the visitors continue to move forward after regaining the winning thread? Read on for our West Ham vs Man United predictions and picks.
West Ham vs Man United prediction
For the West Ham vs Man United match prediction, we believe the final score will be a 2-1 win for the hosts based on our analysis.
Neither team has created an overly positive impression this season, but the visitors have been quite underwhelming from an attacking point of view on the road. When push comes to shove here, the hosts may just have that little bit more in terms of firepower, which can see them through.

West Ham vs Man United head-to-head statistics
When the teams last met, it was Man United who came out on top, winning by three goals to nil at home. When the pair last met in London, it was a different story, with the Hammers winning 2-0. Sunday’s hosts have now won each of their last two home games against United.
West Ham vs Man United preview
This match will be played on 27/10/2024 at London Stadium. Kick off will be at 14:00 GMT.
The weekend did not go well for West Ham, there’s no getting away from that. Despite making a positive start in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, taking the lead through Mohammed Kudus, the Hammers folded rather tamely, conceding four goals.
That disappointing result came after they thumped Ipswich at home, a result that clearly did not act as a springboard for further success. Now back in front of a home crowd, they’ll be hoping to improve, and this match against a weak Man United side may just present them with the perfect opportunity to do that.
Sure, the Red Devils bounced back last weekend, beating Brentford at home, though their win was a narrow one, nor did they create the most positive impression in victory.
The pressure is still very much on manager Erik ten Hag, who, let's face it, remains in a job thanks largely to a lack of better options. The Dutchman has inspired his team to win just one of their last six competitions.
Before this game, United will play away from home (in Turkey) in the Europa League, which means that they won’t exactly have an abundance of time to prepare.
West Ham vs Man United Betting tips
I like the look of two bets ahead of Sunday’s clash at the London Stadium.
West Ham to Score Over 1.5 Goals
The Hammers did wither rather quickly having started positively last weekend, but I’m not going to be too quick to judge them for that. What’s more, they’re a decent attacking side, especially at home, where they recently banged in four goals.
We’ve seen just how poor this United team can be at the back away from home, while it’s not as if they’ll come into this match in tip-top condition having faced what is likely to be a tough test away in Istanbul on Thursday night. This simple fact aids the home team’s search for goals, absolutely.
Jarrod Bowen to Assist +1 Goal
Another angle of attack here is to bet on the West Ham skipper to register an assist. Absolutely known for his ability to score goals, we shouldn’t neglect Bowen’s usefulness as a provider.
The winger/forward has registered two assists already this season, while he’s averaging 0.30 expected assisted goals per 90 minutes, which is a number that makes odds of 4/1 look quite large indeed.
Very adept at getting into crossing/cut-back positions, especially against weak defensive units, such as United’s, the Englishman looks a decent bet to add to his growing assist tally, which in a West Ham shirt currently stands at an impressive 41.
