Premier League

After two victorious duels to open the new Premier League season, two somewhat unexpected losses came for West Ham. First, they drew 2-2 at home to Crystal Palace and then had to settle for a goalless draw at the end of the game at Southampton.
The main loss for the Hammers ahead of the tough clash with Manchester United is the absence of the league's top scorer Michail Antonio (4 goals), who saw a second yellow card at the end of the last match and will not start against United. But West Ham is not only Antonio and four other players have managed to be among the scorers in the first four rounds.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, have a clear 4-1 win over Newcastle in the last round, with two goals from the ageless Cristiano Ronaldo. He also made his mark in the week Manchester lost to Bern in the Champions League and has scored 63 goals in 68 Champion League matches since turning 30.
Considering Ronaldo's form, it is quite likely that he will be one of the scorers again in this match and together with his Portuguese compatriot Fernandes, will lead United to another win.

H2H: Last season
Man Utd 1:0 West Ham
Man Utd 1:0 West Ham - after overtime (FA Cup)
West Ham 1:3 Man Utd

My bet:
Manchester United @ 1.72 (bet365)

This is an incredibly difficult match for Man United, but the absence of Antonio for West Ham is a huge boost for Solskjaer's side. It would not be a surprise to see a home victory or a draw at the London Stadium, but I just have a feeling that the Red Devils will do enough to secure a narrow win in the capital.

Good luck

As long as I believe this will be Man United's victory, I have to try a bet on corners against them again! MU simply have some problems with defending counter attacks what leads to conceding corner kicks and WHU is that kind of team that clearly has quality to make some pressure against them at home!

West Ham over 4,5 corner kicks @ 1,83 (bet365)

My bet:
Manchester United @ 1.72 (bet365)

West Ham 1:2 Manchester United

West Ham: Benrahma 30’
Man Utd: Ronaldo 34’, Lingard 88’

Bet OK

De Gea came up big with the save. If the last one was a penalty Ronaldo should have had at least one. ManUtd were the better side and deserved the win.
